China–India football rivalry

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Does not follow WP:NSPORT. All the sources revolves around 1 match held in 2018, that too held after 30 years since 1988 match. The political rivalry and the geopolitical issues between two countries cannot be a reason of a sport rivalry. Even the statistics shows there is not established rivalry. They did not even face each other in the knockouts regional, continental cups or world stage like AFC Asia Cup, Asian Games or the WorldCup and the Olympics. And it cannot be called a rivalry if a country have zero wins against the other. Hardly played 11 matches and India won zero. Seems like some sort of WP:HOAX Drat8sub (talk) 10:43, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete: I can't see how this is even a thing. There isn't a rivalry as far as this article suggests. We don't just have articles on "rivalries" because two teams play each other occasionally.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 19:24, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
