 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Per WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTAL. This is four scheduled FINA long course swimming world championships in the future (2017, 2019, 2021, 2023) -- and that's on top of the future FINA short course world championships that alternate every other year (2016, 2018, 2020) with the long course championships.  Two of each -- short course and long course -- should be enough.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 21:41, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. Dirtlaywer1 is spot on. In addition, although we don't have any sort of formal guideline for how far in advance we can make this articles, I'd say that, while the year is listed (and the month isn't clearly listed in the single source, though it is listed in the article, possibly based on assumptions from previous competitions), there isn't enough clarity on specific dates and details of the competition for it to merit an article yet. I thought that WP:CRYSTAL could be a direct reference here, but unfortunately, it looks like it references pure speculation about an event, and, in this case, there are barebones details that make this more substantial than speculation.

 * Delete, as per Dirtlawyer1. No prejudice against re-creation once a suitable amount of time has passed. -208.81.148.195 (talk) 17:10, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
