Thoughts on this?[edit]

@Blaixx and I am wordsmyth: do you think this topic is notable enough for an article of its own? RedBlueGreen93 02:12, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is good work - well done! I think it is notable enough to be published.

A few thoughts:

None of the current references in this article call this the Salish Sea Derby. I'd like to see a reference or two added that use that name to better verify it. Here's one: [1]
I think that you're right to call this the Pacific FC–Vancouver FC rivalry for now, but I expect we'll want to consider renaming this soon if consenus forms around a specific name.
The El Tráfico article only shows standings for the years when both the LA Galaxy and LAFC were in MLS together instead of showing all of the Galaxy's history before LAFC. I think this article's League ranking by season should do the same and start with 2023.

I saw some sources with the Salish Sea derby name being used. I just have not added them yet. Obviously its still somewhat of a work in progress. Also yeah, lets start the standings comparison at 2023. RedBlueGreen93 03:49, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think this topic is just notable enough for an article but it’s very likely to become more notable as time goes on. BLAIXX 21:18, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When I have time I'd like to add to this article:

Both teams have the same owner[2]
Callum Irving leaving Pacific to since with Van (particularly notable, mentioned in Times Colonist article)
Larger rivalry between (Greater) Victoria and (Greater) Vancouver? TBD on this one. BLAIXX 23:21, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
