Violates WP:NOT, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Plus there's almost no information right now and probably won't be for 2 years. Delete this, thought if you guys prefer a redirect that works too. Wizardman 05:08, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. This article won't be anything more than a stub for a couple of years. TJ Spyke 06:27, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. The information in the 2008, 2009, and 2010 articles is all verifiable. No harm in keeping it as a stub for a few years. --- RockMFR 06:39, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I can't find it right this second, but WP policy says sports events should be +1, meaning only the next event should be covered. So an article on the 2008 game is arlight (and 2009 I think), 2010 is not. TJ Spyke 06:55, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Sounds right. Hence why I'm keeping 2008 and 2009 up. Per RockMFR's comment, yeah it's no harm keeping it in that condidition, but seeing how short that is means there's no harm in deleting it either. -- Wizardman 14:18, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. MER-C 11:25, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. No benefit at this point to creating it and having a stub. Wait until there is enough coverage to make an article. Edison 15:06, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Though I don't think the sports +1 is any kind of policy. If so you'd have to delete a lot of pages like 2018 Winter Olympics. There is nothing of value in the article that can't be recreated instantly when the time comes. Information about where the game is can be found on BCS National Championship Game for the time being. Perhaps change this into a redirect to that article. I have listed this at WikiProject College football for more input on the matter. The 2009 article could probably be deleted/redirected as well until the same premise that we could redo it to the same state easily and nothing will be lost. The 2008 article should definitely be kept, though it might not see expansion beyond what it is until August-November. -- MECU ≈ talk 20:41, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete As a member of the college football WikiProject, I also say delete. This game is way too far in the future to warrant an article. Especially consider there will be so significant developments for this game for a long until, unlike, say 2020 Summer Olympics. NMajdan &bull;talk 20:43, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, I support Mecu's suggestion of a redirect to BCS National Championship Game. And I would support this action for the 2009 article and beyond.--NMajdan &bull;talk 20:45, 9 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete or redirect 2010 and 2009 as mentioned above. This is way to early for these articles.  For all we know there will be a playoff system by 2010. VegaDark 21:06, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete content, but Keep as a redirect (per MECU ≈ talk & NMajdan &bull;talk ).  Once the the event is closer, then it can be converted back into a meaningful article.  In fact, if this article continues to exist as a redirect, then perhaps users won't be tempted to recreate.--Tlmclain  | Talk 21:10, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. As a member of the College football WikiProject, this is still too early. Some far-future articles can be kept, but not this one. If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 21:16, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Certainly crystalballing. And depending on the whims of the University Presidents, this game may not even exist in 2010.-- danntm T C 21:27, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect Until a couple of year, then re-open. CJC47 22:01, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Mecu & Tlmclain above. AU Tiger ʃ talk /work 22:28, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above. -- PSUMark2006   talk  |  contribs  23:22, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Mecu. Keep the 2008 article.  Redirect 2009 and 2010 (and any past that) to BCS National Championship Game.  Johntex\talk 18:10, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Sports-related deletions.   -- SkierRMH 05:26, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm going to go ahead and close this one as a redirect to BCS National Championship Game. Johntex\talk 18:14, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
