Author removed PROD, non-notable neologism. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 05:08, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:MADEUP - Wikipedia is not for things you made up one day. At the very least, "almost-rival" is a non-notable neologism. No significant coverage in reliable independent sources is provided to satisfy the general notability guidelines and my good faith searches find only one trivial occurrence of the words "almost-rival" being used in the sense described by the article - DustFormsWords (talk) 05:19, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, I agree with the above, there are absolutely no references that the term is actually in use. Seems like it was made up at school one day. JIP | Talk 06:46, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
