Comment. While I agree that this article in its current form doesn't fit acceptable parameters, the basic data here is informative and could find a home (sans charts) somewhere in Football in Turkey or a related article about football rivalries in Turkey, a subject of considerable interest, for example see Elif Batuman's March 7, 2011 piece in The New Yorker, "The View from the Stands: Life among Istanbul’s soccer fanatics." --Arxiloxos (talk) 14:34, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
