No convincing evidence that this subject is independently notable. I cannot see anything that cannot be achieved in the articles on the drivers and the film. T v x1 14:04, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support There probably was a rivalry as there always is when two people are fighting for a title at the pinnacle of a sport, but to suggest it was anything more than any of the others over time because it was the subject of a movie, then no. Fecotank (talk) 04:33, 21 December 2018 (UTC) Support: if any rivaly deserves an article, it's the Prost–Senna rivaly. As it is, that rivalry works just fine as a subsection of Prost's article, which makes this article unnecessary. 1.144.111.106 (talk) 07:58, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I cannot see any policy-based argument that supports deletion, and given that there is plenty of coverage of specifically this title in reliable sources (you only need to click a few of the links in the header line at "Find sources:" to see that) I think it easily passes the notability test. -- DeFacto (talk). 11:09, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: There is lots of evidence that this is independently notable as can be seen in the find sources box at the top of this discussion (particularly in books). I see no reason why this article should be deleted, there is nothing in wikipedia polic that says it needs to be deleted (that I'm aware of) and the "Find sources" at the top of this discussion clearly shows the subject is notable. SSSB (talk) 11:28, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I agree with the reasons given above. Though the article is brief, there is certainly notability to be found from the sources. If anything the article requires expanding. --Formulaonewiki (talk) 15:47, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This rivalry has been the subject of a number of documentaries. See, e.g., here. It's one of the most prominent rivalries of F1 history and sources for it are very easy to obtain. FOARP (talk) 20:05, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
