Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2017 NCAA Skiing Championships

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. There was not much discussion on the salting question, but what there was suggested it would be preferable. I've taken a bit of admin discretion and salted them, but with the expiration a few months before the events, which should allow creation when and if significant pre-event sourcing exists. -- j⚛e decker ^talk 16:14, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP:TOOSOON. Sporting event is still over three years away and has no meaningful coverage at this time other than the event is going to happen. Also nominating 2016 NCAA Skiing Championships for deletion. Except for the bits about where the event will be held, its a virtual word for word duplicate of the 2017 article and also too soon. ...William 16:48, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Save as draft unless references can be found. It's not WP:TOOSOON if there's significant coverage, but I'm not seeing it. Supernerd11 :D Firemind ^_^ Pokedex 17:00, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

References were added to both pages. Sorry I meant to do that from the start, which was just a couple hours ago. I'm somewhat new to all this so I'm as up to speed on the WP:TOOSOON details, I will read up. I'm also not sure if the references added (2-3 each page) are significant enough to stop the deletion or request for saving as a draft, but they are valid, solid references. Thanks!

Delete and salt until April 2017 Most of the article is written in future tense. Wikipedia is not a bulletin board to post info about future events. Applicable policies are WP:CRYSTAL, WP:NOTPROMOTION, and WP:NOTNEWSPAPER. Same applies for the 2016 event, except salt until April 2016. Unscintillating (talk) 19:03, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Draftspace does not have sufficient support to incubate and manage an article for three years. A case like this, an editor can request Userfy after the article is deleted. I'm not personally opposed to change my !vote to Userfy if such is requested. But we don't have an organized process for protecting mainspace from competing drafts or new versions, even for articles in draftspace much less userspace, so there is no guarantee that a userfied article would get posted if kept in user space for three years.

Delete Both per above, but userify if someone steps forward who is actually willing to work on them. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 13:24, 10 March 2014 (UTC).[reply]
