2021 in Canada

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Per Articles_for_deletion/2022_in_Canada. It isn't normal to have future "[year] in [country]" articles. We have a few elections listed here with unspecified dates, but as we saw recently with the UK elections, the dates and years that these happen are not always set in stone. At best it is a list of future events that are likely, at worst its WP:CRYSTAL. This is the only 2021 country article of this type and I don't think it makes sense to have articles like this until closer to the end of the current calendar year. —  Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) (click me!)    17:57, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - Though I've made update edits on this article, it's too early for its existence. GoodDay (talk) 02:53, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, obviously without prejudice against recreation in late November or early December. This will be valid eventually, but it's not needed yet — and creating new articles is not difficult enough that we would need placeholder pages to exist this far in advance of their actually being useful. This is indeed the only "2021 in [Country]" article that exists as of today — even in the "2021 in North America" navbox at the bottom of the page, every other country in the entire box is just backlinking to the general "History of Country" page instead of to a 2021 subpage. These don't need to exist until the year is only a matter of weeks away. Bearcat (talk) 22:25, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Current consensus is to delete articles two and more years out, but to keep the next year's article. But see WP:CCC and Trump's going to kill us all when he loses re-election. Bearian (talk) 00:38, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * , What consensus? Where on that page is there anything about future country articles? We are establishing that consensus now. I'm fine with having an article like this toward the end of the year, but right now it's too early. The fact that this is the only one of its kind does not lend credence to your argument at all. As for your second sentence it is incomprehensible and a borderline BLP violation. —  Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) (click me!)    18:17, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
