This article should be deleted because it fails WP:FUTURE. This is because it is a future event where nothing can be said about the topic with WP:RSs. KAP03 (talk) 04:17, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would also like to nominate this article because it has the same problems mentioned above. KAP03 (talk) 04:40, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. A new user created these two articles, which I planned to get to after the holidays (please compare with other similar articles here). If anything a redirect, but not deletion. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 15:19, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep I vehemently disagree with applying WP:FUTURE to events thare are only two months from taking place. Lepricavark (talk) 16:47, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (both). They do not fail WP:FUTURE. The events are scheduled for next month, preparation is well advanced, and they are almost certain to take place. The events have been considered notable for the past three games. There is coverage of countries' preparation for the events.[1][2][3][4] It doesn't take a crystal ball to predict that there will be more extensive coverage when the events takes place, and it will be possible to expand the stubs. Deleting now would be mindless. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:10, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Incubate Articles have no references and are written in future tense. Right now, the articles do not meet Wikipedia standards, and are intended as works in progress. WP:FUTURE requires event notability, which is generally understood to be equivalent to that for Balloon Boy to satisfy WP:Notability (events).
