Football at the 2015 Pan American Games

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Contested PROD, with the following reason "This is a routine article, and will be created sooner or later - see previous years. That the tournament will happen is of no doubt. Facilities and athletes village approaching completion. Qualification starts in about a year. Meets WP:GNG easily." It fails WP:Crystal and is unsourced JMHamo (talk) 11:28, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is obviously not a case of WP:Crystal, as this is not unverifiable speculation. Pan American Games are a major sports event, and there are many sources about the upcoming 2015 games. We have Football at the 2016 Summer Olympics, so there is no reason to delete this article. Vanjagenije (talk) 12:00, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - if qualification doesn't even start for a year, then what about this?! Giant Snowman 13:22, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:CRYSTAL - "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place" Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 14:15, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Football at the 2011 Pan American Games, a related article is fully sourced and shows notability. This article relates to the 2015 Pan American Games which is too highly notable. ///EuroCarGT 16:52, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Given the massive, daily, significant media coverage (at least around here) about the 2015 Pan Am games, and various events, I can't even begin to comprehend why we are here. Clearly meets WP:GNG [1] [2] [3] [4] Nfitz (talk) 02:29, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per WP:CRYSTAL. @Lugnuts:, since there is a qualification phase to take place prior to the actual event, no information can be provided other than than that it will probably take place at the moment. @EuroCarGT:, completely agree that this will be a notable subject once there is something that can actually be written about it.

Comment - given the coverage over the controversy over the change in venue from Toronto to Hamilton, Ontario, the controversy over the reconstruction of Ivor Wynne Stadium, and the controversy over Canada's (who have qualified) plan to take a B-team, there is information that can be added.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete, WP:CRYSTAL. Apart perhaps from the fact that the event will be held, any content that can go in here at this point would be speculation at this point. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 09:57, 18 February 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Keep : this proposed deletion is taking WP:CRYSTAL way too far. The future holding of this event is obviously notable in and of itself, and has been definitively confirmed in terms of date and location. There may not as yet be much to say about the subject - but there are some useful pieces of confirmed information, the subject is notable, and there is no realistic quality of 'fortune-telling' or prediction. this is a confirmed event - the only speculation would be as to some of the details.
