Lakers–Pistons rivalry

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Meeting several times in the NBA finals doesn't indicate a rivalry, no sources to identify that this is a notable rivalry Delete Secret account 21:39, 4 January 2011 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:00, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - Meeting several times, including consecutive times often does indicate a rivalry. As for sources, at least one quick one is A Best of Basketball Story, which includes this as a rivalry. Rlendog (talk) 22:00, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep First Google hit is an ESPN story on the rivalry. Please, at least do a Google search before the nomination. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 00:05, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Significant history of top-level competition with appropriate sourcing. While not rising to the level of Lakers-Celtics rivalry, for example, I still feel this to be inclusion-worthy. Carrite (talk) 01:03, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is a historically significant rivalry in the NBA. Since 2005 to the present it's been one-sided, but the article on this particular rivalry should remain for its overall importance. Jrcla2 (talk) 21:45, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
