2021 NBA All-Star Game

Fails WP:CRYSTALBALL and GNG, can be recreated in future James (talk/contribs) 21:35, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to National Basketball Association or NBA All-Star Game, for now. It could also be a very weak keep, as there is already info on where it will be held. Merry Christmas! Baby miss fortune 01:27, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Venue, date and city named; we have what we need for an official article.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 04:06, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:TOOSOON. This is over three years away....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 18:39, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect - For now at least. It is far too soon to create these types of articles. When All-Star discussion for this game exists, it can be re-created.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 03:20, 22 December 2017 (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 host city, date, and venue has been announced, and there is no reason to think the event will not be notable, as all past annual NBA All-Star Games have been.  At this point, WP:IAR, as there is nothing to be gained by creating a bureaucracy to delete only to inevitably recreate again.—Bagumba (talk) 09:25, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete, redirect, and salt until 13 February 2021. Every sentence is written to state events in 2021 in Wikipedia's voice.  2021 sources are not currently available, so the statements in the article cannot be verified.  There is only one reference in the article, a primary source.  Fails WP:DEL7.  Also fails WP:DEL8 via WP:SUSTAINED, WP:Notability (events), and WP:DEL14 .

 * It is inconsistent to advocate "redirect" and state that it fails WP:DEL8, so I struck that. I am adding that it fails WP:DEL14 and WP:Notability (events).  WP:DEL14 is for WP:NOT, and WP:NOTNEWSPAPER #2 states, "most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion. For example, routine news reporting on things like announcements, [or] sports...is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia."  Perhaps WP:Notability (events) gets to the core issue when it states, "In evaluating an event, editors should evaluate various aspects of the event and the coverage: the impact, depth, duration, geographical scope, [and] diversity...of the coverage."  18:47, 29 December 2017 (UTC) [Note: DEL12 changed to DEl14.

 * Keep It is typical to keep a planned major sporting event once the date and venue has been decided, or when the process of selection is advanced to the point that the process is noteworthy. This achieves that. Trackinfo (talk) 07:37, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Weak delete, even less information than 2020 NBA All-Star Game, though it is already scheduled to take place in Indianapolis. LaundryPizza03 (talk) 11:40, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to NBA All-Star Game, though I'd be fine with a keep. A (tentative) date and place are set, but nothing more is known or is likely to be known for quite some time. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 17:58, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Since everybody else was too lazy to do so, I added the current story about the event to the article, discussing the known knowns. Trackinfo (talk) 02:00, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
