NFL Wikipedia Page

This is a little random, but I'd like some help from some knowledgeable posters here on Saints Talk.
The other day I was looking at the NFL Rivalries page on wikipedia and noticed that Saints-Falcons was not on there. I thought that was weird b/c I say that is definitely one of the top 10-15 rivalries in the NFL. I added it, but it was almost immediately deleted with a note that it needed to be discussed on the talk page.
So I posted on the talk page that I thought it should be included and laid out a ton of reasons. But there is some dude on there that keeps arguing with me that it is an unimportant, non-historic rivalry despite the fact that I even posted some articles. I got tired of arguing with the guy. Anybody want to pitch in and help, or at least steer me towards some wikipedia dispute resoultion mechanism?
TIA
And here's the page:

1) That guy seems like a major Richard.
2) With all due respect, I don't need Wikipedia to tell me I hate the Falcons.
3) frick the Falcons!!!

Make your own online encyclopedia that will rival Wikipedia.

What a douche.

I hope one of his arguments was THE SAINTS OWN THE FALCONS!

I'm tired of people thinking the South doesn't have any worthwhile sports but college football.

Read a lot of the argument. I just love the "you're not reading my argument" argument when you had obviously answered it ad nauseum and brought outside sources to the discussion.
My experience with Wikipedia is that they bill themselves as the "encyclopedia that anyone can edit", and then when people come to try and improve it with valid submissions, snobs bitch and whine that your additions aren't valid or "notable" enough. Anyone who doesn't recognize Saints-Falcons as a great, historic rivalry needs to get their head out of their arse.

Dude you're arguing with some douche that edits Wikipedia pages. I would just let it go.

Anything to do with the South gets swept under the rug by national media...been that way since 1865.

Yeah, I know it is lame. That is why I got tired of it. But wikipedia is supposed to be informative and unbiased and a ton of people go there for information, so I wanted it to reflect the great rivalry the Saints and Falcons have.

The guy arguing you is an idiot. The fact that it gets put in primetime every year says that other people enjoy it

So the guy claims
That applies to every rivalry. Sure i'll watch Steelers-Ravens but i don't give 2 shits about it. Same with pack-bears, cowboys-redskins. Those are the more "famous" of the rivalries but again i doubt anyone outside of their fanbases really cares.

In the last 10 years, it's been one of the best rivalries in the NFC/NFL. Both the Saints and Falcons have been good as of late and that makes it better and the rest of the country is noticing us.

I'll respond to him at some point. The fact that he thinks the Saints/Falcons series is not a great rivalry but the Rams/49ers is tells you all you need to know - beyond absurd.
I created the Saints/Falcons rivalry wiki page, and unfortunately you have to deal with assholes like this on that site all the time. You'd be fairly amazed at how many people are utterly convinced that their own opinion is some sort of national consensus.
I mean, San Francisco/St Louis, really? They've probably played 3 or 4 meaningful games in the past 30 years. The 49ers won like 20 in a row at some point against the Rams, or something equally ridiculous.

Yeah, that guy is just determined to not let it happen.

From his "about" page on wikipedia:
...So yeah. He's a Rams fan, which certainly explains the disdain for the Saints. Probably not happy about that last beatdown the Pats took in the dome either.
