Delete per WP:TOOSOON. Jrcla2 (talk) 03:30, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support per WP:TOOSOON. There are already references about this that some quarters are getting ready for this already. –H T D 14:51, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - No evidence that this is a notable subject, probably because it will not happen for nine years.- Mr X 14:54, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment What exactly is the applicable policy on events like this one? We do have articles about the Olympics as far away as 2028, and the World Cup as far away as 2026, after all. Ejgreen77 (talk) 01:45, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Good question. If we have WP:RS that people are getting ready for this already, it's good to go. Right now, FIBA apparently has sent notices to its members that bidding is open.This November, we'd already have notices on which countries will be bidding for the 2023 world cup. That's just months from now. One can say, based on policy, that once either notices have been sent (right now) or bids have been received (this November) can this article be viable. Take your pick. –H T D 09:40, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment-Yeah the Olympic ones I can understand-but this on the other hand is not as notable as the Olympics. World Cup in 2026 seems questionable, but since that isn't that big in the US-I don't get the point then. Still this seems too soon. Maybe in a couple years.
