WP:NOT a crystal ball. No information except that it will be held in Bangadesh. But no sources, press coverage or anything else is provided to suggest why a sporting event planned 8 years hence should have its own article now. World-level events such as the Olympics can get away with this, but based on the article as it now stands, there's nothing to suggest why this one should. Considered PROD'ing but I'm willing to give this the benefit of the doubt. Additional: please note that I only nominated the 2014 article; the 2007, 2009 and 2012 articles were added to the AFD by others. My vote regarding these 3 articles is listed below. 23skidoo 04:37, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

 * The above comments were made before the addition of 2007 Twenty20 World Championship, 2009 Twenty20 World Championship and 2012 Twenty20 World Championship to this discussion, and applies only to 2014 Twenty20 World Championship. —Swpb talk contribs 21:55, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Also worth considering for AfD: 2007 Twenty20 World Championship, 2009 Twenty20 World Championship and 2012 Twenty20 World Championship —Swpb talk contribs 05:52, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I have no objection to the 2007 article since it's almost 2007. I'll have to check the 2009 and 2012 articles to see if the have anything substantial. 23skidoo 13:24, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete all. If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 06:27, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete 2014 and 2012 as too distant. Keep the others - plans are well underway for the 2007 tournament, which is taking place next November, as multiple sources show. 2009 is not so distant as to be crystallballing, though the article needs expansion, (which will surely happen as time progresses). Grutness...wha?  09:45, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete 2012 and 2014. Keep 2007 and 2009 as there is at least some verifiable info there. However, it's not even clear whether the 2012 tournament is going to be a Twenty20 WC yet. Sam Vimes | Address me 13:30, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete 2012 and 2014, Keep 2007 and 2009, per Sam Vimes. Stephen Turner (Talk) 14:16, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Likewise, Delete 2014 and 2012, Keep 2007 and 2009, per Sam Vimes. Does anyone know how to tag the other pages to point to this AfD discussion? —Swpb talk contribs 18:24, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Done. Sam Vimes | Address me 20:34, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Since this AFD has expanded to include additional articles, Delete 2012; Keep 2007 and 2009. I've already "voted" regarding 2014 via my nomination. 23skidoo 21:57, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep em all especially 2007 and 2009. A merge for the latter two to Twenty20 World Cup given that the venues has already been decided. Capitalistroadster 01:48, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep 2007 and 2009. Delete the other two, it has not even been confirmed that the 2012 and 2014 events will be Twenty20 tournaments or not. Andrew nixon 09:22, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep 2007 and Delete the others. TJ Spyke 04:58, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Definitely Keep 2007. It is less than a year away so a lot media info about the tournament will come out very soon. I'm not sure about the rest though. GizzaChat  &#169; 04:59, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong keep The articles are not violating the "crystal ball" criteria. Particularly the 2007 event, which should clearly not be in the nomination based on the content policies. Ans e ll  10:13, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom -- Steve Hart 11:50, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep 2007, Delete others. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. All info about distant events can be included at the Twenty20 World Championship page. Individual events articles can be recreated when there's something verifiable worth writing about. --DeLarge 19:09, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
