[edit] Asian Cup 2007

Clearly this will happen if the Earth does not fall into the Sun. However, until it does happen, please see WP:NOT for why this should go. ADB 9 July 2005 15:21 (UTC)

• Keep — I think the differences listed for this event make it interesting enough to retain. — RJH 9 July 2005 16:07 (UTC)
• Keep. Planned events can be written about - and even if it is abandoned we still would want to explain why. Can you give a reason why we would want to delete this but not, say, 2012 Summer Olympics? Morwen - Talk 9 July 2005 16:08 (UTC)
• Comment There are a few very basic problems with that argument:
  • If it were cancelled and we explained why, that would be after the fact. This is not.
  • The existence of other dubious articles should have no effect on the VfD of this one.
    • If your article were titled Preparations for the 2012 Summer Olympics there would be no problem with that one. That is actually what it is about, after all!
    • Changing the title of this article to Preparations for the Asian Cup 2007 would not unfortunately avoid the problem. Is there currently construction of new stadiums happening? Are governments pushing through legislation to get ready for the Asia Cup?
  • It may sound like semantics, but planned events do not merit articles. Sufficiently notable planning for events may merit an article. This one, like AB'sPlansToEatTheCakeHeJustBaked does not. Aaron Brenneman 9 July 2005 17:13 (UTC)
• Keep, we already have 2018 Winter Olympics. That's 11 years ahead of this one. -- Natalinasmpf 9 July 2005 16:45 (UTC)
  • Comment - actually, we also have the 2020 Summer Olympics, at a whopping 13 years past the Asian Cup 2007... -- Jonel | Speak 03:28, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It appears that some are asking for this deletion because it is less notable then the Olympics, and less on whether planned events have a place in wikipedia (it does if there is enough material). The Asian Cup is a major sports event in the World's most populous continent.--Huaiwei 21:38, 9 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Valid information on a topic of current interest. Please don't try to cramp Wikipedia on the basis of some outdated notions derived from old fashioned reference works. CalJW 23:16, 9 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as above, especially as qualification is due to start soon. Article could do with some cleanup though. Qwghlm 20:41, July 10, 2005 (UTC)
  • Just cleaned it up a little, should read a bit better... Qwghlm 20:57, July 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Notable, predictable event which verifiable information can be added to as preparations continue. Capitalistroadster 00:54, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
