 * Delete. A future event that is too far off. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 23:58, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, you just beat me in tagging it for that reason. --Glenfarclas (talk) 23:59, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Given that the event's site selection process has already started -- it will be resolved in 2012, and the campaigns to host the event have effectively already begun, with candidates announced -- it seems appropriate to keep the entry. Kevin Standlee (talk) 17:01, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I created the article for the reasons stated by Kastandlee above. The event will be the 72nd in a continuing series, (and will also be the 75th anniversary Worldcon) and active campaigning has already begun. I also note there are already articles for future events further off, eg. the 2020 summer Olympics. VJDocherty (talk) 22:52, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm as big a fan of World Cons as anyone here - I was a member of Millennium Con in Philly and TorCon3, and have worked on several Albacons, including our our "bid", as well as working on several SF articles here.  However, the host city will not even be decided for a long while.  Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. Bearian (talk) 19:46, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: per VJ - Ret.Prof (talk) 22:34, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete A little too early, given that site selection won't happen until the 2012 WorldCon and there is, at present, only one bid, according to the WSFS website. -- Blue Squadron  Raven  16:39, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Won't be held til 2014 actually, by the article. The article's questionable as is, the fact it's 5 years in the future is an indication that nobody's written about it yet. Shadowjams (talk) 05:13, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
