2016–17 Football League Trophy

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about an upcoming sports competition. Fails WP:GNG and WP:TOOSOON. The article is mostly a copy paste of the previous season. - MrX 23:19, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Keep - Sorry, new to this, but the last football season has finished, this tournament will take place. Re the copy paste - if you go back over previous tournaments, they all follow the same format. This is merely a continuation of this. Deleting now only means someone else will have to recreate it in the coming weeks Juanjo3333 (talk) 18:51, 2 June 2016 (UTC).

 * Keep - tournament will obviously take place and be notable when it does, and the draw for the first round will take place in just 9 weeks. Pointless bureaucracy to delete it now only to re-create in two months' time -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:40, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep Obviously notable and a schedule is already available, therefore not really a case for WP:TOOSOON. Calistemon (talk) 09:47, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - CLearly notable long running national competition, no realistic possibility of it not occurring, no valid reason for TOOSOON. Fenix down (talk) 17:34, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - CRYSTAL does not apply - "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place" GiantSnowman 14:13, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep also as I nearly closed myself, can be kept as a happening event. SwisterTwister   talk  06:02, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
