 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No references or sources. It's too early to create this page because it's still even unknown how many places will confederations have in the final tournament IgorMagic (talk) 06:53, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:CRYSTAL - "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place." The fact that it's not sourced is not a mater for AfD.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 07:27, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
 * "Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation. All articles about anticipated events must be verifiable". As it's still unknown how many places will AFC have in the final tournament, I think the article is only a speculation now.--IgorMagic (talk) 08:04, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
 * But they will have a qualifiying group.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 08:25, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Currently unsourced speculation about the format the tournament may take: fails WP:CRYSTAL (which allows predictions and speculation only if done by experts in reliable sources). --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:34, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - Two reasons why. One, it's unreferenced.  And two, violates WP:CRYSTAL. – Michael (talk) 22:12, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - too far in the future. GiantSnowman 18:47, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - literally nothing is know about the qualification process other than the fact that it will happen, a separate article is not yet justified -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:29, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. The content here consists almost entirely of an unreferenced proposal. There is nothing useful to say about this topic yet; when there is something to say, the article can, should, and will be re-created at that time. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:57, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
