Using Articles for deletion/Future NFL seasons as a precedent. WP:CRYSTAL should apply here. The entire page lacks sources, and many of the additions are pure speculation and difficult to verify. Pats1 15:41, 16 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Strong KEEP -- The article contains verifiable information about the 2008 NASCAR season, but this has been "tainted" by the addition of rumor and speculation, and by the removal of references by vandals. Earlier revisions of the article were in reasonable condition, and at the very least the subject of the article warrants a stub. I will spend a bit of time cleaning things up. -- Scjessey 15:48, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Bad Precedent those were multiple articles, not one on the season, and crystal ball doesn't apply to notable events that are almost certain to take place, which is clearly the case here. In any case, there is information about the expected details of this season, which can be found from sources like ESPN, the AP and whatnot.  This is a situation comparable to 2012 Summer Olympics or the next election in the US.  Especially since the season is only 4-5 months away.  68.101.23.35 18:05, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. This event is going to happen, and soon--why delete? • Lawrence Cohen  20:07, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. This article lists a future sporting event, and such articles, in my knowledge, that will definitely happen, have never been listed for deletion prior. As such, this article should be kept. WP:CRYSTAL, thus, is NOT applicable. Deleting certain rumor sections in the article should be done, but the article itself is not a rumor mill. --AEMoreira042281 23:01, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep per aboveFrank Anchor 23:32, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep There is enough confirmed info that it does not violate WP:CRYSTAL.--JForget 23:48, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * VERY STRONG KEEP. Agreed on all counts of above. Sources include ESPN.com, NASCAR.com and Jayski.com have been used for this article in question, and as such, are reliable in many cases.
