Similarly to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/History of rugby union matches between Canada and Japan and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/History of rugby union matches between Japan and the United States this article fails WP:NOTSTATS, WP:NRIVALRY and more importantly WP:GNG. There's been a number of articles like this which have been deleted in the past, as there has been no GNG coverage of the rivalry itself, and this is another of those articles. Please note that an article of similar content was deleted by PROD at the same time as the other previous articles. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 08:58, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Nom's rationale is sound; I don't see how the article can go beyond stats and meet the GNG. "rugby matches between France and Japan" has zero Ghits and zero TWL hits. —Danre98^{(talk^contribs)} 09:32, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Violates WP:NOT. There are no sources to support a history or rivalry here; this is just an indiscriminate list of matches and statistics. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 09:35, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete None of the individual matches are notable, so why would they be notable collectively. Chagropango (talk) 10:04, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Those matches are't notable. Fad Ariff (talk) 10:30, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is just statistics. Fulmard (talk) 18:48, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No rivalry supported by sources. As with the other articles noted above, fails WP:NOTSTATS, WP:NRIVALRY. --Bcp67 (talk) 06:50, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per all of the above. Fats40boy11 (talk) 07:16, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Unfortunately, not enough notability present as of now. Handmeanotherbagofthemchips (talk) 15:50, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
