History of rugby union matches between Canada and Japan

Similar to Articles for deletion/History of rugby union matches between Japan and the United States this article fails WP:NOTSTATS, WP:NRIVALRY and most importantly WP:GNG. We've deleted a large number of similar articles in the past where no clear GNG passing rivalry can be shown. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 17:51, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete - no evidence that this rivalry (if one even exists) has been discussed at length in WP:RS Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 18:06, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Lol I used the same sources that are used to aggregate the stats played between the two pages (here and here). Just an odd thing to add. It isn't unreliable sources at all. The total (up to 2019) can be seen here also: *RugbyData -- MarioBayo (talk) 09:31, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - no clear case for rivalry, fails WP:NOTSTATS. --Bcp67 (talk) 19:50, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
 * As I have already mentioned, these two sides have played each other the most of any teams outside their own continents. Both teams compete at the RWC frequently (except Canada for 2023), and have a matchup dating back to 1932. One can ignore their historical matches as just pointless stats. However these two teams share a rich history of, not to mention Japan's new status as a tier one nation. MarioBayo (talk) 09:35, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:NRIVALRY. LibStar (talk) 03:59, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. An interesting and very narrow combination of two topics. A non-notable rivalry. SWinxy (talk) 06:18, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
