Red Sea Derby

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

This doesn't seem to be a notable football rivalry. The references are generally about the country's relations, not football. Walsh90210 (talk) 00:42, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Football, Egypt,  and Saudi Arabia. Walsh90210 (talk) 00:42, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Nothing in the article or a Google search does anything to establish these teams as rivalries.  All discuss relations between the two countries (unrelated to football), or WP:ROUTINE coverage of the two football teams.  Frank   Anchor  14:35, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. GiantSnowman 19:37, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 19:38, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOSTATS, I've never heard of the Red Sea Derby, and Derby is a very English term. Besides this being just a head to head, I don't even know where the term came from? WP:OR? Govvy (talk) 21:15, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Some people just love making up these rivalries and giving them names. I nominated for deletion the alleged rivalry between Portugal and France, which somebody gave the flowery nickname "Battle of the Vineyards" but couldn't put the same amount of effort into proving it existed, apart from showing evidence that the two countries played against each other. I was even chastised for using offensive language just for suggesting that not every pairing of international teams is a rivalry. Unknown Temptation (talk) 16:14, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:COATRACK of relations between the two nations (a serious topic) with a few football scores thrown in on the end. WP:SYNTH. This is like saying because relations between the USA and China/Russia are inflamed, they have a football rivalry. Unknown Temptation (talk) 16:14, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete – Per Unknown Temptation explanation. Svartner (talk) 04:38, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete: Just a "hyped-up" routine match with little evidence of notability. Much of the article's content is irrelevant to football. Haruka  Amaranth  14:43, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete: This is a failure of WP:NRIVALRY because of a lack of in-depth coverage in RS. The sources either don't mention a rivalry or do so only outside of football. Let&#39;srun (talk) 00:25, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
