Keep It is an event that is certain to take place and has information on the format of qualification. It is very different to the other article deleted in that the other article had no substantial information on the qualification system that would take place in that area.

Keep, a very notable event guaranteed to happen (short of some kind of apocalyptic event) about which there is information available. J Milburn09:18, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I see nothing about crystal ballism here. To me, the facts are what we know right now, and it's not predicting the outcome. The article is early to me in its creation, but knowing the football fans here on Wikipedia, it'll be created sooner or later.--Whsitchy17:29, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. The "appropriate time" is now. There are enough known facts for this to have been an acceptable article for a considerable length of time already. What do you expect us to do, wait until the tournament has actually started before writing about it? Please read WP:CRYSTAL - it explains the limits of it as a reason for deletion, noting in point 1 of that section the sort of future events which are allowed by WP policy. This article is clearly in that latter category - verifiable, notable, almost certain to take place, and well documented. Grutness...wha?22:53, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
