An article for an event that has not yet occurred. It is not yet a notable event. FiachraByrne (talk) 11:08, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for now. There appear to be no reliable sources independent of the subject that verify that this event will in fact take place, as yet. No WP:Crystal ball is needed to confirm that the 2012 Summer Olympics or the 2014 FIFA World Cup will happen. That said, I wish only the best to all involved with the tournament.--Shirt58 (talk) 11:44, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Future smaller event, no content, no indication of wp:notability, a bunch of blank tables to place non-encyclopedic content into. North8000 (talk) 11:51, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP This is an event that occurs every year and is part of the Wikipedia Curling Project. As information becomes available, the page is updated on a regular basis. There is no need to delete it, as the members of the Wikipedia Curling Project will recreate it. Sirrussellott (talk) 16:06, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Although, I'd prefer these articles be created closer to when they happen. It does (or will meet) WP:CURLING in terms of event notability. -- Earl Andrew - talk 02:49, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Although it is pretty bare, these events when they begin usher in a lot of information. Hence the need to have as much ready before the event begins. Intoronto1125 TalkContributions 02:54, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP No need to go through the trouble of deleting then recreating the article now that it has been created. The article will become notable and should be kept. I will say, though, that I'd rather there be no placement of empty tables (besides the Curlingboxes) and that the article were created after the first few weeks of the start of the season.

SPEEDY KEEP In fact, this event is *precisely* like the items Shirt58 noted as not needing WP:Crystal ball, the NWT Scotties Tournament of Hearts is the Northwest Territorial Qualifier for the Canadian National Championship, which is the direct qualifier to the World Championship. It is guaranteed that all three of these events will occur. GormtheDBA (talk) 13:49, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
