Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Rugby union

WP:DSRU

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Rugby union. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Rugby union|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Rugby union. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Not a notable rivalry, European countries normally play each other regularly without any special meaning for any random pairing. Fram (talk) 11:51, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Events, Rugby union, Georgia (country), and Portugal. Fram (talk) 11:51, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTSTATS. Rivalries need to have significant coverage about the relevant details in their history. This is just a statistical collection of games between two nations. Conyo14 (talk) 18:19, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTSTATS, which is what this article is at the moment. Even so, a rivalry article doesn't appear to have any significant coverage, but I haven't looked too deep into it yet. Conyo14 (talk) 22:22, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:NOTSTATS. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:20, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - there is no evidence of a notable rivalry here Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 22:01, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. But at least it doesn't attempt to call it "a rivalry" in the title... Geschichte (talk) 07:10, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
