Albania at the 2010 Winter Olympics

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article was created (presumably) because of the CTV website for "Nations Competing In Vancouver" shows Albania, but also note the disclaimer on that page that says "NOTE: the nations featured in this section were the competing nations from the Turin 2006 Olympic Winter Games, and may not qualify athletes for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games." In this case, Erjon Tola was the lone competitor for Albania in 2006, in alpine skiing. The current NOC quota for skiing does not include Albania, and the FIS biography page for Tola shows that he doesn't have enough points to qualify for 2010. If something changes by January 25, 2010 (when entries are finalized) we can re-create the article but for now, this Wikipedia page is showing up on web searches as a statement of fact that Albania will participate. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 17:18, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete as premature. Once Albania actually enters the Olympics this article can be re-created. --JohnnyB256 (talk) 21:47, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
