WP:TOOSOON This is about a sports event almost two years away. Coronavirus may still be going on. Nothing of importance here yet. Article was deleted around 6 weeks ago. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 10:03, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Definetely keep, considering this entire AfD is based on the article being "recreated using the same content". When this was explained, rather than accepting the circumstances have changed, the nominator persisted. 6 weeks ago, this article contained only the contracts for the 2022 season and no further content. As of yesterday/today, the 2022 season will now be the season in which the 2021 regulations take force due to the interruptions COVID-19 has inflicted on the 2020 season. If the nominator had read the article, they would notice the content is not at all the same, and there is extensive content here that was not there 6 weeks ago. There is not a single shred of reason behind this AfD and I find it both absurd and laughable that it has been pushed through. 5225C (talk) 10:37, 20 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep: as a direct result of the coronavirus, rule changes that were planned for 2021&mdash;quite possibly the biggest changes in the sport's 70-plus year history&mdash;had to be delayed until 2022. These rules and the circumstances behind the delay are covered in detail with a wide variety of reliable sources. Mclarenfan17 (talk) 10:43, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - WP:TOOSOON is an essay which effectivly says that the subject lacks notability and/or WP:SIGCOV now but may/will do so in the future. However given that the 2022 season will see a major re-writting of the rules, most, if not all, of which are officially confirmed. Therefore WP:TOOSOON does not apply. The postponment of the major rules changes to 2022 combined with the dozens, if not hundreds, of sperate sources which cover this mean it satisfies the inclusion criteria.

 * Keep, for the same reasons already given Sr88,  talk . 23:19, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep due to recent events which now mean there is significant discussion in the media etc about the 2022 season, as can be seen in the article. A7V2 (talk) 02:35, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep the 2022 season now has a lot of new rules- deferred from 2021. The 2021 season article was kept for a similar reason at a similar time last year, and the new rules information is more concrete than at that time. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:05, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep The new regulations need to be explained somewhere so it makes sense to allow the 2022 season page to exist even if it goes against the normal recommended timeline for the page to exist. MetalDylan (talk) 10:39, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
