This page is about an event that won't happen for several months yet and has almost no certainties as all has yet to be determined. Joel.Miles925 (talk) 12:58, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep per WP:CRYSTAL - "1.Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place"  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 06:44, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep as this is still enough considering the timeline events. SwisterTwister   talk  19:32, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:TOOSOON, but it will be notable one day. We should not be adding articles for events that have no coverage (WP:GNG). Why not add one for 2017–18 already? Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:12, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. Along the same lines as the comment of above, isn't it the usual practice to allow an article about the next upcoming installment in a notable sports series like the Copa del Rey? Strictly speaking, maybe this article shouldn't have been started until Barca had actually run out the closing seconds of its inevitable win in yesterday's final, but at this point I don't see much upside in arguing about precisely when we can have the next article. --Arxiloxos (talk) 22:26, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Only a few months away, will clearly be very notable when it starts (2015–16 Copa del Rey had 80000 page views in the last 90 days), the qualified teams are listed (assuming no sudden rule changes) so it does have some relevant information already.

 * Keep - draw hasn't been made, but unlike the next season's FA Cup, all competing teams are known. &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 01:32, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
