Germany–Spain football rivalry

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

I can't find anything to suggest these two countries are actually rivals. They just seem to have played each other a few times. Over 90 years, a game every 3-4 years isn't all that common.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:14, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:GNG. No clear rivalry beyond "two major countries regularly playing each other" (and even saying "regularly" is suspect). Sources include a reference to the very first meeting, a primary source to the Spanish Football Federation, a head-to-head record, and an article that doesn't even mention the word "rivalry".

 * Delete sources show these teams have played each other many times, but not that there is an actual notable rivalry between the two teams. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:36, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
 * To elaborate on this, there is only 1 source in the article that uses the term rivalry, and that's a primary source from the Royal Spanish Football Federation. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:11, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 18:12, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable. The source in the article only mentions the history between the two countries and nothing is said about rivalry. I've also searched the web, but found almost nothing about this. 🛧 Layah50♪ 🛪 ( 話す? 一緒に飛ぼう！  ) 19:46, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment As always with a lot of these articles, this is just head to head with some prose. WP:NOSTATS applies, and that is the delete argument to most past articles of this nature. Govvy (talk) 20:46, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Not very notable. Sources do not prove that there is a rivalry. Shadow 345110   (talk)  20:32, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - doesnt seem to be an actual thingMuur (talk) 22:41, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Kante4 (talk) 13:13, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - yet another article on a "rivalry" which is really just about the head-to-head record between two teams, with no evidence that any actual rivalry exists. We don't need articles detailing that for every possible combination of national teams -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:33, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
