Page should be deleted

This isn't much of a high-profile rivalry. These two teams have had great moments during their meetings but this isn't a rivalry worthy of a Wikipedia page. There isn't enough documentation outside of the 1970s to prove the historical nature of this rivalry. This was a great 70s rivalry but it is not one of the greatest rivalries of all-time.

Playoff meetings

Not sure why User:Fred Zepelin thinks the source I provided isn't reliable. The numbers are accurate, are they not? – Pee Jay 20:00, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You have clearly not read WP:RS. It doesn't matter if the numbers are accurate or not. "Reliable source", in the context of Wikipedia, is a source that has editorial oversight, uses fact-checkers, etc. mcubed.net is clearly not that. If you have a question about whether it constitutes a reliable source, ask at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. Meanwhile, leave the article as is until this discussion is complete. Fred Zepelin (talk) 21:59, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As an experienced Wikipedian, I think that source satisfies WP:RS. I'm happy to wait for you to provide another source, but for simple mathematical calculations like this, I'm not sure it's necessary. – Pee Jay 22:02, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Even if it was (it's not, and you really should ask at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard), you're still engaging in WP:SYNTH. It's just a table of win-loss records, and that doesn't, by itself, warrant the text that you keep trying to add. Fred Zepelin (talk) 22:04, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How am I engaging in WP:SYNTH? All of the claims are explicitly backed up by both sources that I've used now. – Pee Jay 22:30, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
