2009 Australian Grand Prix

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Prod removed. Per discussion at WT:F1, this is pretty much a violation of WP:CRYSTAL. Although it is contracted for 2009, the FIA has yet to release the calendar for the 2009, so there is too much speculation at this point for the article to be developed properly without knowing the full details.

 * Delete - no worthwhile information on this article at the moment. - fchd (talk) 17:05, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Article is nothing more than filler for an event a year off, with no actual relevent information. Wait until there's actually something to write about. The359 (talk) 17:13, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. – ukexpat (talk) 17:21, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete for now too much crystalballism for an article at present. With the comments made over the last few months by Bernie Ecclestone, there's a chance there may not be an Austrailian GP next year. DarkAudit (talk) 18:32, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - but rewrite to get rid of "crystalballism"...--Camaeron (talk) 18:36, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * ...which would leave what? - fchd (talk) 18:43, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Nothing to say about the Grand Prix whatsoever. Created about nine months too early - Linczone Talk / Watch  18:52, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Opinion - The nominator is abusing WP:CRYSTAL. The WP:CRYSTAL does not have that meaning. I found no information is crystalballing. Raymond Giggs 04:13, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * How am I abusing WP:CRYSTAL? It is crystalballing - have you seen it say anywhere "the FIA have confirmed the 2009 Formula One season calendar?" No, so therefore it is crystalballing. D.M.N. (talk) 19:47, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay. So all articles about new grands prix are crystalballing too. Abu Dhabi GP will not take place too. Okay, you win. ("Ok, you win!" means "nonsense" in Hong Kong.) Crystalballing means the grand prix is still not confirmed. However, Australian GP is confirmed to be held at 2009 regardless the schedule is not confirmed. That is, just the date is not confirmed only. But your speech seems meaning Australian GP will not take place. Anyway, I would Reject Delete. Raymond Giggs 14:06, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * As often as Belgium has been removed from the schedule in recent years, I would suggest that anything about a future race is tenative until the lights go out on Sunday afternoon the day of. DarkAudit (talk) 16:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, okay. I won't vote on it. Raymond Giggs 17:47, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - unsurprisingly contains nothing of note (or anything really) regarding next years event Murtoa (talk) 04:49, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete (no useful content, in fact virtually no content at all) or Redirect to Australian Grand Prix, so that anyone typing in '2009 Australian Grand Prix' would at least go somewhere useful. 4u1e (talk) 09:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment there's alot of press coverage about the 2009 race. 70.51.8.110 (talk) 09:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Are you serious? The 2008 race has only just occured, so I strongly doubt your statement. D.M.N. (talk) 21:07, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I take you did notice Ecclestone's threat about not having a night race and losing the GP, no? There has been alot of press coverage about the future Aussie GPs, starting with 2009 70.51.8.110 (talk) 04:59, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * But in that case, the only thing we could possibly write yet about the 2009 Oz GP is that it might not happen. 4u1e (talk) 08:43, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. ----SpeedKing (talk) 09:34, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment The contract runs through 2010, so there may yet be a 2009 race. Still, at this point last season, an article could have been written about the tenative 2008 USGP. A couple of months later, it was off the schedule. If the Singapore night race experiment is unsuccessful or worse, Australia could be off the schedule for as long as Bernie runs FOM.

 * Delete Could not find good sources for articles relating to the 2009 race. -- Shark face  217  03:28, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
