- Keep - while speculative and seemingly a long way ahead, it is tagged as such and more information will come, there is already information on Denver possible bid. There is significant information already available on 2016. Article link: 2020 Summer Olympics - comment: nominated by User:Dafr who has no other edits. The nomination is not formatted quite correctly but I have not time to fix.--AYArktos 23:36, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- Minor comment -- parts of this (esp re Denver) seem to me to be POV; other parts seem vaguely crystal-ball-ish, which I thought was a Wiki no-no. --Simon Cursitor 06:32, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Keep or merge the possible bidders are verifiable information. And bids for the Olympics are always done far in advance. - Mgm|(talk) 08:11, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)
- As much as I don't really like it, the 2020 Summer Olympics will be happening, so I have to vote keep. --Badlydrawnjeff 13:47, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. WP:NOT a crystal ball. There are no actual bidders yet, only possible bidders, which is speculation. — Gwalla | Talk 01:49, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Keep Harmless and Wikipedia should cover topics of wide interest, even if they are in the future. CalJW 14:25, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Keep We know for sure that the 2020 Olympics are happening. And JamesBurns says that comment for everything. --WikiFan04ß 19:24, 22 Jun 2005 (CDT)
- I'd say keep. It's good to look a few Olympic Games ahead - 2020 will come around eventually, even though it seems a long way off now (but then, so did this year in 1990). I don't think we should be writing about the 2024 Summer Olympics for a few years though.
- Keep. If the Olympics cease to exist we can delete it. — Phil Welch 04:04, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Straight from WP:NOT: "Individual scheduled or expected future events, such as the 2028 Summer Olympics, are not suitable topics for articles. " --Malathion 2 July 2005 10:20 (UTC)
- Keep - Similar discussion at the GTA4 page. Guys, there are some things you can safely insert as place holder. It helps build the community of information on wikipedia. If there was no page, then people who may have useful information will be turned away. That's the last thing a small growing project like Wikipedia needs. There's a reason the {future} tag was invented. If Wiki didn't want speculation, the {future} tag would be a deletion device. It is not. However, I can see there are those who like to follow the rules to the letter. I encourage everyone who voted delete, and all former elementary school hall monitors, to go find all {future} tags here and tag them bitches with VFD to death. (p.s. I might do it if no one else does as a protest against the silly crystal ball rule) --Muchosucko 4 July 2005 12:35 (UTC)
- Keep -- The Olympic Games are a recognized event, and even though 2020 is still 15 years away (as I'm writing this), there is a reason why people are talking about and/or planning for an event of this magnatude. Maybe an article such as the 2032 or 2036 Olympics – which are still years away – are not suitable, but I agree with Muchosucko. [[206.72.11.46 4 July 2005 21:38 (UTC)]]
- Keep - lots of info will happen soon CoolGuy
