WP:CFORK and literally copy/pasted ( without attribution) from 2009 Egypt v Algeria football matches, with the list of matches being the only minor exception. Fitzcarmalan ( talk) 17:28, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

- Keep - It might need work, but it is interesting, especially for footballers (which I am not). C. W. Gilmore ( talk) 05:42, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment - if it is kept, the title should be changed to make clear that it is about the rivalry between the two national football teams, rather than between the countries themselves -- ChrisTheDude ( talk) 08:35, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
- Agree, with Chris, the article title is misleading. C. W. Gilmore ( talk) 11:24, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
- Keep I had a look at the article, it's a fair bit more comprehensive than the article you said it forked from. I also agree the title needs fixing. Also WP:overlink needs to be applied to the article. Other than needing a cleanup and project tag on the talk page I see nothing against why it should be deleted, it's quite an interesting subject.

- Keep - passes WP:NRIVALRY. Not sure of the need for two articles. If the outcome of this AfD is keep then 2009 Egypt v Algeria football matches should be redirected to the general rivalry page. Fenix down ( talk) 13:16, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
- Withdraw - Maybe the underlying rivalry needs a parent article after all. I made a few major changes, including this edit, which replaces all the content under the "2010 FIFA World Cup qualification" section with a very brief summary that was copied from the lead section of 2009 Egypt v Algeria football matches, pending a full rewrite.
