Per WP:TOOSOON. This is still over 3 years away. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 01:00, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. Per WP:CRYSTAL, such articles are okay if preparation for the event is already in progress, which is the case as an arena has been announced. For comparison, the article for the 2021 NBA All-Star Game was also created after the location was announced. —  python coder    (talk &#124; contribs) 01:49, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep This is becoming an annual ritual. We have a site and date; barring intervention by a comet or an out-of-nowhere freshwater lake tsunami on Lake Erie (or a players strike/lockout), it's happening.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 02:11, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Easily passes the first section of WP:CRYSTAL, which specifically allows for articles about scheduled, notable events that are almost certain to take place, near future Olympics and U.S. presidential elections being given as examples. This falls right under that. --Nathan2055talk - contribs 06:50, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep for all of the reasons above. --Walk Like an Egyptian (talk) 06:52, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP: TOOSOON. Vorbee (talk) 07:52, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep precedent has been previously set - if no venue had been announced it would have been delete - cant chop and change what is done on Wikipedia - consistency is needed.Davidstewartharvey (talk) 10:25, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep while it's four years away, there does appear to be sufficient coverage in reliable secondary sources. Nwlaw63 (talk) 13:32, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per all above. This is a notable event that is definitely going to take place. Keep in mind that we have articles on the Olympics as far away as 2028, and the World Cup as far away as 2034. Ejgreen77 (talk) 21:48, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep My !vote from the 2021 AfD is applicable here too: "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) 10:21, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep many things scheduled for 3+ years in the future are articles, including elections and other sports events. This is no different. Redditaddict69 (talk) (contribs)  02:46, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
