Talk:2028 Summer Olympics

Author

I am the author of the page, and have added additional information, such as the proposed Seattle/Vancouver bid. Since this would be the first multi-national bid, this is a significant event in the Olympic movement, even if the bid doesn't succeed or is abandoned. I would claim that the 2028 Olympics page has far more relevance then the 2024 and 2016 pages, simply because of the 100 year anniversary for Amsterdam and the prospect of the Seattle/Vancouver joint bid. Although it may seem far away, cities really do start exploring these things this early. TruckOttr

I agree, this is relevant information concerning current affairs in each of these cities. Article should be kept. Derekpblank 07:04, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

I think it should be changed. According to the 2022 Winter Olympic page, Montreal, Canada and Lake Placid, USA are exploring a joint bid. I have no idea how likely the bid is to take place, if it does go through, it would beat the 2028 bid you mentioned by 6 years. I would suggest that a reference be made that this could be the first truly joint bid, but also reference the possible 2022 Winter Olympic bid.

Oceania

I removed Perth and Melbourne, and they keep reappearing. The references provided by the authors either don't work or don't mention anything about the 2028 Olympics. If there is verifiable references regarding either Perth or Melbourne, feel free to add them, otherwise it's Original Rsearch. see: Wikipedia:No_original_research. I left in Brisbane, since the article stated that they were considering a bid sometime in the next 15 or 20 years, which would cover 2028. --TruckOttr (talk) 06:24, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

AFDed - ARTICLE DELETION REQUEST

May I suggest this page for deletion as it is a bit pathetic having a wikipedia article for an event that is 20 years in the future . I have known articles only a few months away that have been deleted but this takes the piss really, I mean no news on the games will be known until 2021 at the least. I suggest it be deleted and protected to at least 2019, what does anyone else think. (BlackpoolKickboxer2008 (talk) 00:13, 13 September 2008 (UTC))

I suggest you ask at WP:OLYMPICS first. I think their convention is to create a page when information starts to come available about strong bid candidates in reliable sources. And please note that it already has survived an afd (although it was more than a year ago) -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 00:20, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

In agreement with BlackpoolKickboxer. My goodness, we haven't even had the 2016, 2020 & 2024 Games yet. GoodDay (talk) 19:22, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Multinational bids

There have been multi-national bids in the Games history. Luge, bobsleigh and skeletton events were planned to take place at Königssee if the bid of Salzburg for the 2010 or 2014 Winter Olympics had been successful. It would have been multinational Games in Austria and Germany. --Miebner (talk) 17:53, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Vienna

http://sport.orf.at/stories/2171188/ According to this German news article, the referendum in Vienna was clearly negative. Should it still be noted in this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.114.169.156 (talk) 14:47, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Potential Bids (Africa)

I have removed Cairo, Egypt as a Potential Bid for the 2028 Summer Olympics. I could be wrong here, however given the fact there was no citation, and the recent removal from power, of the Freedom, & Justice Party, by the Egyptian Military, I would have to say that this is now moot.--Subman758 (talk) 19:22, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Potential Bids (Europe)

I added Sochi as a potential bid for 2028 because Sochi hosted the Winter Olympics in 2014.
