2026 Cricket World Cup Qualifier

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Way WP:TOOSOON, as the event is scheduled for 2026, and key information such as the teams participating won't be known until around then too. No information about this event currently exists (other than it's scheduled), so we don't need an article right now. I oppose moving to draftspace, because it will likely be 2-2.5 years until there is enough information about this tournament (e.g. teams competing, location, exact dates) to justify an article (and Wikipedia is not an indefinite holding area).

 * 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier is almost half-way through and the next edition should be created... Also it forms part of 2027 Cricket World Cup qualification. ŇƗΜŘØỮ Đ€ŁΔỮŘ€ŇŦƗŞ (TALK) 01:41, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Neither of those are reasons why the article should be created, unless there is significant coverage about it right now, which there isn't. No point in having an article that simply says "this event is scheduled to take place in 2026" with no other info. Joseph2302 (talk) 07:33, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep. The relevant page here is not WP:TOOSOON (which doesn't even mention sporting events), but WP:CRYSTAL, which does. And the key thing is whether there is anything verifiable that can be said about the event. In this case, there is: the number of teams has already been fixed, as demonstrated by reliable sources in the article (the ICC at least, not necessarily Czarsportzauto).

 * the number of teams has already been fixed, as demonstrated by reliable sources in the article Which source actually shows how teams enter this qualifying tournament? The sources say that this qualifier will be in 2026, and will let 4 teams qualify for the 2027 Cricket World Cup, but nothing else. There is not significant know information like you claim.

 * Delete per WP:TOOSOON Grahaml35 (talk) 19:23, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Possible keep or redirect, though I can't see anything in WP:TOOSOON guidelines which pertains to this type of entry and the page in itself would pass criteria for entry. All the current information is verifiable from independent sources as details emerge, so I'm inclining towards keep. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C8:4F05:9001:64B1:E58:8FF8:89F0 (talk) 09:24, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep As per point 1 of WP:CRYSTAL. The event is highly likely to take place with number of spots available fixed combined with the information available makes me inclined to support keeping this.  The C of E God Save the King!  ( talk ) 19:21, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:TOOSOON to the max, though the article certainly could be recreated as the event draws nearer. TH1980 (talk) 01:23, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:TOOSOON and does not meet WP:CRYSTAL. There is no information available (dates/teams/hosts) except that it will be qualifier tournament for 2027 WC (which is known to all). Robo<sup style="color:#707">Cric Let's chat  11:15, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. Practice in recent years has shown that even larger sporting events can be postponed for years because of some pandemic, and the list of participants and the rules are all the more volatile. Suitskvarts (talk) 16:27, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
