Lack of Wikipedia:Notability. This "cup" was not a tournament or recurring sports event but just a friendly match between a national team (Argentina) and a regional/combined team (Rio de Janeiro) with no significative relevance (in fact, the AFA does not consider it an official match). This page could be merged into Argentina national football team results (1940–1959) which lists all the unofficial matches of Argentina during that period.

Delete - I agree with the nominator that the competition lacks notably. However, a more appropriate article for a merge, should that be the outcome, would be Argentina national football team results (unofficial matches) which includes all unofficial matches of the Argentina national team. The article suggested only includes official results for the period. Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 22:01, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - I am against deleting the Copa Raul Colombo article for one reason: this match in some sources such as World Football Elo Ratings is considered a Full A game between Brazil and Argentina. I agree that for the Argentine team itself the relevance is low, but greater clarification of what this match was about, in my opinion, is necessary. It is also fundamental to remember that at that time, state teams in Brazil had a lot of prestige. Svartner (talk) 09:32, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 13:01, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be happy with a redirect as well. Giant Snowman 17:48, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Argentina national football team results (unofficial matches) I feel Stevie fae Scotland makes a good case for a redirect, although I strongly suggest to merge the lead paragraph to the article. As the unofficial matches article has no prose on lead, it would help to bulk that a bit. Govvy (talk) 13:43, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I strongly support user:Govvy suggestion. A redirect to the unofficial matches article would be the most appropriate idea.
