Delete this article. This article can be created far in the future. It is not written in an encyclopedic tone and it has many redlinks. The article should either be rewritten or deleted. — Andy W. (talk/contrb.) 20:42, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 20:59, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Was going to say keep because it will be recreated but I have to agree with Anthony on this one, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball-- Pheonix  ( talk )  21:03, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete per WP:CRYSTAL. Can be recreated... eight years from now. Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?) 21:07, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete per WP:CRYSTAL. How can anyone make such predictions? Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim  21:30, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete again, per WP:CRYSTAL. It's too far ahead in the future. —  Wen li  (contribs) 02:52, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Let's see 2015, that's 2008,9,10,11,12,13 and 14 in between. Overall 7 years and 7 World Championships in between. Unless the author posesses some very special abilities I don't know how he came up with the names of his likely canidates. Prime example of WP:CRYSTAL  1 redrun  Talk 07:12, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * World Championships in Athletics are held every two years, so that's 2009 Berlin, 2011 Daegu and 2013 Moscow. These, by the way, are appropriate articles because the venue has been decided. Punkmorten 08:23, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete- per WP:CRYSTAL. Ne ra n e i   (talk) 15:41, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - as per WP:CRYSTAL, and the fact the whole article appears to be Original Research. - fchd 17:32, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Per all of the above (WP:CRYSTAL, basically). ♠  TomasBat   21:11, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. I think a good rule of thumb would be that an article for contests like these should be created when official bids for hosting them are started, since that's the starting point for reliable, verifiable information relating to that specific event. --Agamemnon2 22:19, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Sounds logical. I agree. ♠  TomasBat   00:10, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I think that the article should be created depending on the notability of the event it describes at the time it is created. And yes, I would say generally when bids start, it is verifiable and becomes notable. — Andy W. (talk/contrb.) 01:11, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
