No sources to prove that there is an actual rivalry. There is POV issue. India-Nepal rivalry is as much a rivalry as say Maldives-Sri Lanka or something to like that. InternacionalFutbolista (talk) 15:19, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

• Oppose – It might not be the biggest rivalry in football, but its the biggest one in the SAFF. See here and here. Inter&anthro (talk) 20:36, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
• Delete Statistical rivalry only; the article just picks games out of Nepal national football team results from the Nepal-India game and offers no prose describing the supposed rivalry. Aspirex (talk) 21:14, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

• Delete - unless there are reliable sources that can be found that talk in depth about this rivalry then it can't be considered as one Spiderone 09:48, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
• Delete per Spiderone Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 10:07, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
• Delete - not covered by reliable sources, no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 10:36, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
• Delete - This is not a notable rivalry as some other football matches like Australia-Japan or South Korea-Japan. Also agree with the other people and their opinions. Matt294069 is coming 04:03, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
• Delete - Not seeing GNG per WP:NRIVALRY, at least not in english sources. There is plenty of coverage of matches between the two but little in depth on the notion of a rivalry as the subject of an article. Fenix down (talk) 16:19, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
