2009 Ashes series

 * — (View AfD)

Crystalballing - this is for an event that will take place in 2009; my only reservation is that since this is a "regular event", but the only real detail is that it will happen in England; but would this open the door to 2011, 2013, etc. articles being created? SkierRMH 03:22, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Crystalballing. TJ Spyke 03:25, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, despite WP:+1. -Amarkov blahedits 03:30, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep No crystalballing has occurred... yet. If and when it happens it can be reverted or posted to AfD again.  skrshawk  (  Talk  |  Contribs  ) 04:18, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep It doesn't have much content now (only the change in venue, at least that's sourced), but I'd rather have the article infrastructure in place. Note that the current Ashes series finishes in four days time - once it's over with, I think we'll see a few more reputable cricket publications turn their attention to the next series. (I think it passes crystal ball, btw - "notable and almost certain to take place").Quack 688 06:56, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep- I agree with Quack. Reyk  YO!  09:41, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Major series that is only two years away (and this is the next Ashes series). Greg Grahame 02:03, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - by the time the AFD discussion closes, this will be the next contest. Meets WP:CRYSTAL, as event is notable, certain to take place, and preparations are under way, as evidenced by the venue list. Eludium-q36 18:05, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep passes WP:Crystal because all it is reporting right now is the list of venues (which has been signed). SirFozzie 23:35, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep we've got an article on the 2011 Cricket World Cup, this article is not crystal-balling and thus doing no harm.  Noble eagle  [TALK] [C] 04:45, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep As above. Hohohob 02:52, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Verifiable and useful placeholder which will be expanded shortly I'm sure. &mdash;Moondyne 01:17, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep It's going 99.9% likely to happen, so it's not Crystal Balling. No reason to delete otherwise. Just H 20:49, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
