Fails notability, none of the 15 sources are about the so-called rivarly, googling doesnt provide any significant coverage; the main result for "štajersko-prekmurski derbi" is a volleyball match between some obscure teams, white there are almost no results for football match (and even those few results are just routine match reports).

Comment – (Almost) the same text is already at NK Maribor#Rivalries for several years. Its true that the article is well-sourced, but all sources are completely out of context, none of the sources are direclty about the rivalry itself, for example the 1st, 6th, 7th, 8th, 10th, and 11th reference confirms that one club was disbanded and re-eastblished (nothing to do with a rivarly, so basically half of the references are about the year in which the club(s) were established), the second source is head-to-head statistics, third and four reference is not about football at all but about Gross domestic product of the region, 12th reference is another H2H statistics etc. Snowflake91 (talk) 09:18, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with Snowflake, whilst the article looks well referenced, there is nothing there which discusses the rivalry as a notion in itself. At best there are references to match reports which are used to synthesise discussion of a rivalry. Furthermore just because something is interesting is never a reason to keep an article.
