This article is predicting the future (WP:CRYSTAL). The article in portuguese has been deleted for this reason. Holy Goo (talk) 14:06, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy keep Nominator needs to familiarise themselves with WP:CRYSTAL as it specifically allows articles like this: "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place." See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/United States presidential election, 2020 (2nd nomination), which was similarly nominated in error a few days ago. Number 57 14:10, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per WP:CRYSTAL/Number 57. Lugnuts ^{Precious bodily fluids} 15:01, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per CRYSTAL and its clear statement on the matter: "Examples of appropriate topics include the 2020 U.S. presidential election..." (italics added). Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:18, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. General elections in sovereign countries (including future ones) are notable and this one is confirmed to be occurring as specified in the articles title and relevant sources. Ajf773 (talk) 19:08, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per above. --AmaryllisGardener ^talk 19:36, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, I already explained in Talk:Brazilian general election, 2018. The deletion of the article at pt wikipedia was not even following the policies of pt wikipedia, so it is pointless as a justification. In fact, perhaps someone fluent in portuguese should ask the undeletion of that article at that project. --Cambalachero (talk) 22:29, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
