It isn't normal to have future "XXX in the country" articles. At most it has a single link to the FIBA basketball WC, which is scheduled. If we allow this one, where does it end? Are we going to make a "2027 in North Korea" too? It's all WP:CRYSTAL. Note there is also a 2022 in the Philippines article as well. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)}_{(click me!)} 21:09, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The scheduled sporting event is already notable enough to warrant in keeping the article. Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 15:12, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - It is similar to 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup and really there is no policy to delete, it is blindly notable. Shashanksinghvi334 (talk) 16:52, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Shashanksinghvi334, that even is a scheduled event, this page merely mentions that event. That event does not alone justify keeping this page. If people are interested in what year the world cup will happen in the Philippines, they will find their way to that page, not to this one. Setting a precedent here of keeping this page will result in a de-facto consensus that WP:CRYSTAL articles on future years for countries is fine. Where it ends is anyone's guess. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)}_{(click me!)} 20:56, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Move to draft until at least 2021. BD2412 T 04:18, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Too soon, we don't need an article just to mention a single event. Reywas92^Talk 06:34, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the 2023 page as too speculative and only one certain event, but keep 2022, which has national elections and many other fairly certain events. Bearian (talk) 19:08, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 05:11, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
