Royals–Tigers rivalry

The article highlights (in no depth) a single aspect of game trivia but without any sourcing. Salimfadhley (talk) 12:46, 29 July 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm so sorry, I just put my sources in. I just put a fact I've noticed all of my life on T.V., when i watch the games, I've been a long time Royals Fan. Leof616

Merge/redirect to Major League Baseball rivalries in lieu of deletion. Here are some sources I found about the subject:     </ol>All of the sources are from May 2015. The Detroit Free Press article calls it a new rivalry and talks about its origins: "Wait, are you calling this a rivalry? After one good season by the Royals? Hey, not all rivalries are the same. Some develop quickly. Like this one. It sprouted toward the end of last summer and blossomed last weekend in Kansas City, when that city's fans packed Kauffman Stadium to watch its defending American League champs take on the winner of the last four Central titles. The Royals took the first two of the four-game set, and the Tigers responded by taking the final two, a reminder they are still here." Since this is a new rivalry and all the sources are from May 2015 (none before and none since), I don't think there is enough coverage for a standalone article. However, I support a merge to Major League Baseball rivalries in lieu of deletion per WP:PRESERVE.

 * Redirect to Major League Baseball rivalries per Cunard. This really seems like a bad case of WP:RECENT, but redirects are WP:CHEAP.  -- RoySmith (talk) 12:35, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect I agree with Cunard's post. L3X1 (distænt write)   )evidence(  14:01, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
