• Comment. For comparison purposes, let's look at 2017 in the United States. It was created in June 2016 with this edit, which seems to be a more concrete event than we have in the 2018 article currently. The 2016 version was created on 19 December 2015 (here). 2015, meanwhile, was created in July 2014 (here), and had much more structure than the other first edits I'm seeing. So being premature isn't, itself, a reason to delete - we've had more premature articles of this type in past years. As for content, well we know there will be events in 2018, and that they will happen in the United States, so we should probably consider adding them. Midterm elections, for example.

• Comment I would agree with the above comment that the issue here seems to be more the current content (and past content) than whether a page for 2018 is viable at this stage as pointed out above there are legitimate things that could go here eg the various scheduled elections, scheduled major sporting events etc Dunarc (talk) 21:09, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Neutral. Technically nom is correct, however this will be created in this form in less than 3 months (assuming the world doesn't end prior to 2018, and the country still exists). Similar articles were created in years past prior to the year beginning.Icewhiz (talk) 06:59, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep w/o prejudice to renom in 3 months in case the United States ends.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 04:25, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Things will happen in 2018 in the US. I can't believe that nobody added a single event that is scheduled to take place. I've just added three by looking at the 2018 sports categories. I'm sure there's more to the US than just sport, but it wasn't hard to find that sort of thing. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 07:03, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as there's scheduled events in the USA in 2018 & we've less then 3 months in 2017. GoodDay (talk) 22:03, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
