[edit] 2026 FIFA World Cup

Nominating for AfD, since the article has been prodded before and the prod was contested. Concern: "I don't suspect we should be speculating this far in advance -- the article cited says: "Nicolas Maingot, an official at FIFA's media department, said FIFA has yet to decide on the sites, or even the continents, for the World Cups beyond 2014." Considering this statement, should this even be an article currently? Wikipedia is not a crystal ball Ian Manka Talk to me! 07:12, 12 July 2006 (UTC)" --Zoz (t) 11:32, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. --Shizane 12:09, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. 2010 is the only future WC we should realistically include (maybe 2014 at a pinch). This is utterly useless speculation. Seb Patrick 12:11, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. To comment, any global sporting event (such as the FIFA World Cup or the Olympic games) that has its location selected or under imminent consideration ought to be included (that includes the 2014 World Cup and the 2014 Winter Olympics). But this far ahead is just too much. --Kitch 12:32, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom - it's too far away to be published. --Bigtop (tk|cb|em|ea) 16:17, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Sebastian Kessel Talk 19:52, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. No useful info, just pointless speculation. Jess Cully 22:54, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Too far into the future to be useful. --Asbl 23:19, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - Though the year 2026 is pretty certain, a World Cup being played that year isn't. Fabricationary 23:26, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Way too far in the future, to contain any useful info Vaud 03:47, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as per above. see WP:NOT. -- Korean alpha for knowledge (Talk / Contributions) 07:38, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per CRYSTAL. I'm normally open to articles about future events, but this is *too* far away. —Nightstallion (?) 21:43, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Every sentence contains an inaccuracy or prediction.  Slumgum T. C.   23:30, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete peralloftheabove. ~ trialsanderrors 06:35, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete Leave it up and running! Although the 2026 Cup is still way in the future, information already starts popping up so why not have it in Wikipedia? What's posted here is not some private person's thoughts but the info backed up by newspaper publications, so to a certain degree it's a credible info. There is a lot of speculative info re: 2014 and 2018 Cups as well, yet nobody proposes to delete it. And lastly, why are you so obsessed with the deletion? If you don't like it, just don't read it - read something else instead.
