 * Delete: Olympic Council of Asia and Southeast Asian Games Federation has no source about 2019 Southeast Asian Games in website OCA here and SEAGF here. WP:TOOSOON! Boyconga278 (talk) 06:14, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Question: Why is the "this articles entry" on 2019 Southeast Asian Games red? Ping me with &#123;&#123;u&#124;Jim1138&#125;&#125; and sign "&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;" or message me on my talk page. 06:25, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep but with TBA (to be announced) status on host and venues, until it was positively stated in OCA and SEA Games official sites. The article was started when Brunei officially and positively accepted their turn to host SEA Games 2019 in 2012, but during SEA Games 2015 in Singapore they turn it down, with possible replacement hosts are the Philippines or Thailand. Maybe Philippines' interest could be placed as "possible host" or "interest to host" section. I think we do not need to delete it since it only four years from now, the wikipedia article thus might help to keep reader in track on what happened on host country turn/selection, cancelation and replacement. The same case has happened in 2018 Asian Games, when Vietnam back down as host, and Indonesia step in.  Gunkarta  talk 10:29, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep – There seems to be sufficient content and sources to pass WP:GNG. Qed237&#160;(talk) 14:31, 13 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep Although OCA didn't confirm YET the hosting of the Philippines. The Philippines accepted the rights to host the game. Here are the news articles from the Philippines (POC confirmed it during their SEA Games Federation executive meeting in Singapore in June) confirming it:

-this article mentioned that a formal invitation must be issued by the federation in which the country must accept but the Philippines is guaranteed to host the edition
 * http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/520994/sports/othersports/phl-to-host-2019-sea-games-after-brunei-vietnam-decline

-this article pointed out the planned venues for the 2019 sea games. It mentioned the MOA and Philippine arena
 * http://www.rappler.com/sports/philippines/99035-philippines-host-2019-sea-games

-this article explicitly stated that the country will host the 2019,a 46 seconds video is included here citing the POC that the Philippines will host the 2019 edition
 * http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/sports/07/10/15/philippines-host-2019-sea-games

I believe these are enough to confirm that the PHL will host the game in 2019 although formal announcement must be made by OCA DVO (talk) 08:54, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep – Not WP:TOOEARLY, Philippines have been confirmed as the host for 2019 events. To Boyconga278, your reason is very weak as you also have ever reverting my edit without telling any reason for the revert. C'mon, we are Vietnamese, but why you didn't reply to my message?
