the World Hockey Championships is notable, but in my opinion it fail WP:SPORT. Pookeo9 Talk If you need anything  18:03, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep -- it will be notable when held; deletion followed by recreation is a needless waste of effort. Andrea105 (talk) 18:12, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete only keep vote violates WP:CRYSTAL. As of now the event is non-notable, may be notable in the future but that's not relevant here.-- Giants 27  ( Contribs  |  WP:CFL ) 00:25, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Switch to keep because in hindsight, there's no doubt this event will occur and its notability is not questioned.-- Giants 27  ( Contribs  |  WP:CFL ) 21:03, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep We regularly keep world hockey championships that are this far off. Generally it is considered not to violate WP:CRYSTAL if planning can be shown to have already started. Which in this case it has because a site has been choosen. -DJSasso (talk) 01:45, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per DJsasso. A host has been chosen and the event is therefore considered to be notable.  Not sure how this would violate WP:SPORTS.  It's a world championship in a major sport.  Patken4 (talk) 01:58, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Four years out is pushing the limit, but we have verifiable information on the tournament, and it isn't like the World Championship is going away any time soon. Not to mention that violating a wikiproject somehow is hardly a valid rationale for deletion. Resolute 02:42, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep to atleast prevent needless recreation. It isn't an issue of CRYSTAL, as the event will no doubt be notable, and basic details are already known. We create articles for far less notable and even further in the future events for the same reason.  Grsz 11  03:05, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article demonstrates that this is not a violation of WP:CRYSTAL, in that the subject has received coverage in reliable sources and self-evidently a sourced encyclopedic article can be written, because it has. If this gets cancelled then it will be all the more notable for that fact. I'm not sure, however, that Grsz11's comparison will convince many editors here, because this is only a world championship rather than a North American event.
