Article name

The name East Midlands derby is closely associated to Nottingham Forest vs Derby County matches. But an article on LCFC.com also refers to Leicester vs Nottm Forest matches with the same name (last sentence, first paragraph). How should the wiki articles be seperated should an article be created for Leicester vs Forest? Wolcott (talk) 18:17, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think you would have to use a section of the article to state that the term can also be applied to other combinations of teams in the area, although Derby v Forest is clearly the primary rivalry^{[citation needed]}. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 09:24, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Combining article

Is it a good idea to combine this page with Derby County F.C. - Leicester City F.C. rivalry and eicester City F.C. - Nottingham Forest F.C. rivalry. They're all East Midlands rivalries and could be segregated in to individual fixtures? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.218.234 (talk) 23:59, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think combining the article with the Lesta games is a good idea — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.26.132.110 (talk) 14:01, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Combine articles! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.18.77 (talk) 22:28, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Let's combine the articles! It makes sense — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.51.138.22 (talk) 19:33, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you look the media don't discriminate between the three fixtures. They refer to all as East Midlands derbies. Combining is logical. ^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4]
