2014 U18 Sitting volleyball World Championship

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article fails to mention why this event is notable and there are no sources at all in the article. Additionally, it appears that this event is occurring in 2014 and Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Holyfield1998 (talk) 14:50, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - Wikipedia is not a crystal ball; however, in cases like this, that is not a relevant reason for an AfD - for example, the 2018 FIFA World Cup article, which of course is about an event that has not started yet (nor have any qualifiers been played for it). As to its notability, I know absolutely nothing about seated volleyball, so can't say whether the article should be deleted or kept. At the very least, however, it needs sources and a major amount of expanding, as it is just an entry list at present. Lukeno94 (talk) 17:39, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

 * delete as hoax/lies - it says 12 nations took place in a competition held in 2014, and it's not even 2013 yet? Don't think so.  Perhaps a sourced article could be written about an upcoming event.  Morwen - Talk 18:52, 2 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete U18 sports events aren't intrinsically notable even if they're world championships, and I see no evidence that there is enough discussion in independent reliable sources to meet the WP:GNG general notability guidelines. --Colapeninsula (talk) 00:26, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
