[edit] Dates of the 81 matches

Only a few of the Clásico Regiomontano matches have dates given. Can anyone provide dates of the other matches in the Historical Results section? Kevyn 18:55, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: One of the main problems is that there is little documentation for the 81 Clásicos. I, for instance, started watching the Clásicos 10 years ago, and that means that I am only familiar and remeber Clásicos from the 46th to the 81st. But getting cited information is very hard! Most of my contributions are done by memory. I am, however, researching and looking for documentation for this article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.248.36.100 (talk • contribs) 08:58, 18 April 2006.
I've added the dates and places for the first 10 Clásicos. I got them from the homepage of a recognized soccer commentor from Monterrey ( the webpage is Chavana.com) If someone wishes to continue addind the dates, please do. Dreyesbo 15:49, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
EXCELLENT! I've put the sources for those 10 games in proper Wikipedia citation format. Anyone want to volunteer to do the remaining 72? Kevyn 19:22, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
OK, I went ahead and added the dates & locations for Clásicos 11-20, and verified scores. Anyone want to volunteer to do the next 10? Kevyn 19:55, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
I'll do the next ten. Surely we could keep up the pace like that. Dreyesbo 00:06, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Criteria for Notable Clásicos

This comment is to propose a Criteria for adding content to the "Notable Clásicos" section.

It is common that whenever a Clásico ends, someone wants to add the result and a chronicle of the game to the "Notable Clásicos" Section. Though it may feel great at the moment that your team won or your favorite player scored, it should be taken into account that this is an encyclopedia, not a blog. Only truly Notable games should be added to the section, and not just any league or friendly match that happens to be most recent.

Currently, there is a Historical Results sub-section in the Record Section. Unless the Clásico has been truly notable, the correct procedure should be to simply add the result, date, and stadium to the list/table.

But what is a truly notable Clásico? I would like to propose the following criteria:

  • The First Clásico in which something happened (i.e., the First Clásico ever played, the first Clásico with more than 3 goals, the first Clásico played in a certain competition, or in a certain stadium, or in a certain unusual condition --like, the first Clásico played outside Monterrey, or outside of Mexico, or, if they ever play in Europe or Asia, outside the American continent, or the first time in Copa Libertadores, or something really remarkable--)
  • A Clásico with a broad goal differential, i.e., where a team wins by goal difference of 3 or more.
  • A Clásico with a remarkable amount of goals scored (i.e., if they ever tie 7-7, it would be remarkable, but I think that if there is more than 6 goals scored in the game, the game is notable).
  • A Clásico with importance beyond city pride, such as, a Clásico in the playoffs (semi-finals, Old-style "Liguilla", finals, etc...), or a Clásico that decides whether or not one team goes to an inferior division.

Currently, all Clásicos listed in the "Notable Clásicos" section meet the above criteria. I propose this criteria, and would ask for suggestions on how to improve it. In any case, it is clear that, though every Clásico is memorable, not all are "Notable".
