Consensus at Articles for deletion/76ers–Lakers rivalry before was to delete. Conservatively not using CSD G4 as it's not "sufficiently identical copies" of previous article. However, same rationale applies as before: Fails WP:GNG with lack of significant coverage in multiple, independent sources. The biggest issue is that it fails the guideline WP:WHYN, namely that multiple sources are needed "so that we can write a reasonably balanced article that complies with Wikipedia:Neutral point of view". Otherwise, editors will just cherry-pick facts from routine coverage in recaps of individual games or series, as opposed to independent sources that look at the rivalry as a whole. Moreover, routine coverage liberally uses the term rivalry to manufacture hype. —Bagumba (talk) 08:32, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - per nom and previous discussion. A few final appearances against each other, but not a notable rivalry between the two teams. WikiVirusC (talk) 15:03, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
