WTA Big Three

Not notable, and too soon. Per WP:NSPORTS "Sports rivalries are not inherently notable." Tennis guidelines say the same. Maybe in a year or two this might mean something but these endless rivalry pages are getting a bit much. The Trivalry page was already deleted for the same thing, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Trivalry. Tennis is a sport that inherently has players near the same ranking playing each other on a regular basis. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:36, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support Deletion A neologism which describes a phenomenon which doesn't really yet exist. If it was to become an article, it would need to be much less of a journal of a few player's careers, and much about the rivalry itself. Author may want to move it to a sub-page on his/her user page for preservation and improvement. --Super Nintendo Chalmers (talk) 08:46, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
What I may consider doing is copying this page in its entirety to my Talk page, where it can be updated as the season progresses. But, as we saw last year, these three players played a high level of tennis that has set the standard across the WTA. I feel as if something special between these three will happen this year, such as sharing the Majors and the Premier titles, like we saw last year. A lot of players became victims of their dominance last year. Ana Ivanovic, for example, went 0-5 against these three players last year. Jelena Janković went 0-2, whilst Petra Kvitová and Sara Errani went 0-3 each (0-4 if you include their defeats against Radwańska at last year's year-end championships).

- UPDATE: I have copied the entire original article (as it is), onto my personal page: User:MasterMind5991/WTA Big Three. In the event that the original article gets deleted, work can continue on that page, but it should be updated regularly. (MasterMind5991 (talk) 10:05, 6 February 2013 (UTC))[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Support Deletion Not notable at this moment, thus the article is premature. This is an encyclopedia and we should not slavishly follow every new buzzword the media throws up to garner attention. A bit more distance and reflection is required. The same in essence applies to the ATP Big Four article. --Wolbo (talk) 11:59, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
