2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup qualification (Asia)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Prod was contested saying that the fact this event is two years from now is not a valid reason for deletion. My reasoning for the prod is that I’ve seen many articles for future events deleted and comments saying as the event gets closer the article can be re-created. In fact, just in the past week or two, an article I saw about a 2022 election in, IIRC, a south East Asian country, was deleted for that exact reason. So, my argument is, if why is a sporting event not held to the same standards as a country’s presidential election? ThurstonMitchell (talk) 22:49, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep Passes WP:GNG. The main question is whether the article passes WP:GNG, not whether it should be deleted because another article about an event scheduled in future was. A WP:BEFORE would have answered that questions as a very short search in english turned up several sources. . Alvaldi (talk) 10:01, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. The event started at November 2021, and a notable event. This should be kept. SunDawn (talk) 08:07, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment : The 2022 SE Asian election article should also be kept in my opinion. Election in countries are very notable, and the process usually started months before the real election.
 * Keep The subject is notable. The article is still a stub but may be expanded when relevant details become available. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 10:49, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
