2011 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament
I do not see how a sporting event to be held five years into the future deserves a page. The future sport template is all very well, but this is ridiculous. Viridae Talk 02:43, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Deprodded so listed here. Viridae Talk 02:46, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as deprodder. The tournament venues have been selected. Crystalballism does not apply. --DarkAudit 02:48, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per 2012 Summer Olympics or 2016 Summer Olympics. Rather than being "ridiculous", the planning for major future sporting events is of interest to most sports fans, frequently covered in the press and should be included here. --JJay 02:40, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, and then delete 2012 Summer Olympics or 2016 Summer Olympics also. Crabapplecove 02:54, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship until the venues for the first four rounds of the 2011 tournament have been verified. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 02:58, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect as indicated by Zzyzx11. SliceNYC 03:17, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Zzyzx11. --Core des at talk. ^_^ 07:12, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Ok, this one is even sillier. 2011? Anyone want me to make to the article for the 2144 Olympic games to get ahead of the curve? rootology 19:01, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: All this is is a plan, and the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft aglee.  (I really suspect people who want to reserve "authorship" of an article but can't say anything about it.)  Geogre 20:25, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep we have 2008 Olympics, 2012 Olympics, 2016 Olympics, don't we? Carlossuarez46 21:37, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Having the 2011 tournament is like having one on the 2032 olympics. Viridae Talk 22:44, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Zzyzx11 too. Could use a verifiable place of venue first. Kevin_b_er 22:15, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep We've got the 2018 FIFA World Cup, after all. Vickser 22:33, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect until further details as per User:Zzyzx11. -- moe .RON   talk  20:51, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Zzyzx11 too. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. -- Big  top  20:54, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
