[edit] 2018 asian games

2018 asian games (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Despite being inaccurately titled (the article says the games will be held in 2011), Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. —Ocatecir Talk 18:33, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Individual scheduled or expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place. If preparation for the event isn't already in progress, speculation about it must be well documented. Examples of appropriate topics include 2008 U.S. presidential election, and 2012 Summer Olympics.
This article about a future Asian Games is reasonable, IMO, as it discusses only things which are currently known. These games are likely to take place, and the article will likely expand as they get closer.
Incidentally, the article does not say the games will be held in 2011, it says "The host city will be announced in the Olympic Council of Asia's general assembly in summer of 2011."

  • If the claims about bid cities can be verified then keep as that information elevates it above what is proscribed by WP:CRYSTAL. However if no sources to substantiate this can be found the article is nothing more than a scheduled future event with no information and as stands should be deleted.

  • Weak keep if reliable and verifiable sources are added before the end of this AfD. Otherwise, this should be deleted in line with WP:CRYSTAL. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 20:52, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete unless reliable sources are added by the end of the AFD. Otto4711 21:37, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I know it is very far, but expected events like continental games should be kept. --JForget 21:45, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - I'm neutral about whether to keep or delete, but either way shouldn't it be moved/redirected to 2018 Asian Games? --Miskwito 02:52, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as per comments above about WP:Crystal and given there are now references to the bids for 2018. Rename with correct capitalisation - I have done since it is hardly controversial and the capitalisation now reflects the newspaper references.--Golden Wattle talk 20:46, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per the references added since the start of the AFD (see diff). WP:CRYSTAL no longer seems applicable (it is notable and almost certain to take place). -- Black Falcon 17:58, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
