This article was created WP:TOOSOON. While the formation of the championship has been announced, there are very few details available about the structure of the championship or regulations. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 06:07, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is a case of something that, yes, the article has been created too soon, but now that it is here, it makes more sense to keep it than to delete it and just have to recreate it at a later date. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 01:17, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: the main source for the article does not even know what the championship will be called. It talks about an "International" series and a "Regional" series, but it is unclear as to whether these are separate championships or two titles awarded as part of one championship. The most that can be said of the championship at the moment is that it is planned for 2019 and is planned to see two existing championships merge (which is not uncommon). That does not seem to be enough to justify an article for now. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 08:20, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. As the championship hasn't even official name now and hasn't any confirmation about other crucial parts of itself. Corvus tristis (talk) 09:28, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, as this is not even a firm proposal right now. The only thing that can be said is the FIA want to set up a new F3 series, which is not sufficient for an article, and as with many proposed motorsport series, it may never come to pass. QueenCake (talk) 23:26, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep I don't know enough about the sport to know for sure, but this doesn't feel like a WP:TOOSOON violation. Something new launching in early 2019 is technically more than 12 months away, but likely has sufficient coverage to justify an article. power~enwiki (π, ν) 03:55, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: was relisting this really necessary? There are three editors supporting the deletion, one opposed and one who is opposed but acknowledges that the case for keeping the article is weak. I really don't see how this is vague enough to require further discussion. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 08:56, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not enough details are known to justify this article. They haven't even confirmed when it will take place.T v x1 00:16, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- too soon for an article; unclear when the event would take place or what it would even be called. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:50, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
