This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was KEEP. Clearly not deleting. Although there's an anon and a new user here voting keep, even with those discounted there's no consensus between merge/keep. With those two in no-consensus it's a keep, and the keepers have a numerical majority too. -Splash 01:56, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 2014 Winter Paralympics

There is already a 2014 Winter Olympics Page. There is no Winter Paralympic games (as far as I am aware) GingerBeast 11:18, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Until there is reason to have a separate page - as in, when there is an event to cover. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball dok 13:46, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

• Merge (or Delete), per the Wikipedia is not a crystal ball policy. jg325 *talk* 21:18, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand as a real scheduled event. Laur 14:49, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to Paralympic Games. Per http://www.paralympic.org/release/Main_Sections_Menu/Paralympic_Games/ Gingerbeast, - the official name is "Paralympic Winter Games", For example (from that site)

The Italian city of Torino will host the next 2006 Paralympic Winter Games

• Comment I've added Paralympic winter games redirecting to Paralympic Games Tonywalton
• Keep. If we already have a city assigned to the mainstream 2012 Olympiad I really don't see what the problem is with an article about the 2014 Winter Paralympics. Turning it into a redirect would achieve nothing good and could confuse someone with information to add about this specific event. --Tony Sidaway^Talk 02:13, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• KEEP, do not merge. It is *not* the Winter Olympics so should not be merged there. We have articles on future Olympics, so if this is deleted, then the 2014 Winter Olympics article should also be deleted. IT should not be merged into the Winter Paralympics page, but probably should be mentioned there, as the IOC and IPC have formed something of an alliance, this event will certainly occur, and it is a major event, as there's television contracts for the paralympics nowadays. As for naming... It's not the "Winter Olympics" either, so you've got to rename every Summer Olympics article as well (Games of the Olympiad, not Summer Olympics)... 132.205.45.148 16:43, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Genuine and important event and not that far away. Some real information is already available. Osomec 11:04, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
• keep. Trollderella 01:59, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
