2010 Pilot Pen Tennis

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Article is about an event which hasn't happened yet, although it is referred to in the past tense. I don't understand why people insist on creating articles for events which haven't happened yet. Just wait until the event happens, then create the article for it. Snotty Wong  spout 21:54, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep being part of the 2010 US Open Series appears to be notable, and I'm seeing significant coverage on Google News. Far-flung speculative articles on future events can be problematic, but this is only a couple of weeks away. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  17:06, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. This is an article about a future event, but it has been planned and the match schedule has been posted online (http://www.pilotpentennis.com/ScheduleAndDraws/MatchSchedule/) .  I personally agree that it was created before it was needed, but I am unaware of the exact policy regarding this.  I noticed that 2014, 2018, and 2022 FIFA World Cup are already articles.  2012 and 2016 Summer Olympics also exist.  I am sure there are plenty of other "future" articles out there.  Therefore it seems that if the planning for a notable event has been made publc, there is some precedent for an editor to create an article for it.  I certainly am opposed to deleting someone's good faith effort to add verifiable and notable information to wikipedia. Cmcnicoll (talk) 06:30, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Probably created a little early but not excessively so. Tournament is scheduled and, crucially, wildcards have been handed out so there is information to put in the article etc. --129.234.252.66 (talk) 13:15, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
