Completely unnecessary page.  Ja Ga  talk 06:30, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmmmm Tag for refs and expand? This will happen @ 2012.  Had to laugh at the statement of Athletics is usually one of Great Britain's strong points at the olympics though!  With all the gun-crime in London, I reckon those crafty cockney's can get a gold medal in the shooting events...  Lugnuts  (talk) 07:07, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I should point out that since Dunblane, people have been tending towards the use of knives as guns are harder to get a hold of since. Then against, I'm not a Cockney, so... Sceptre (talk) 18:57, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - As the nominator says, "This is completely unnecessary", considering it's more than three years away. As for what the person above me says, athletes is such a strong point for GB that we only won 4 medals in Beijing, and we didn't get a medal of any colour in shooting.

 * Delete the 2012 Olympics itself is notable, but this is too detailed and speculative to be of use. Clear WP:CRYSTAL violation.- Mgm|(talk) 09:28, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep people start plannning early, and writing about the plans. DGG (talk) 09:59, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, pointless at this time. Punkmorten (talk) 10:26, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete no further announcement by IOC and it will wait by January-March 2012. ApprenticeFan  talk  contribs 14:29, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete For us Yanks, "Athletics" is what we call "Track and Field". This article has nothing to say that isn't already in the 2012 Summer Olympics article (August 3-12, 2010 in London).  It says that there are "47 medals up for grabs"; these would be the gold medals.  I certainly disagree with "planning early" as a justification for an article that has no information to impart; Wikipedia is not a fancy restaurant that requires advance reservations for a table ("I'm sorry, but the earliest date we can give you for your 2012 Olympics article is next February").  At the least, one should wait until a schedule (of which events will be run on which days) is available.  Mandsford (talk) 23:54, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per Mandsford. Sceptre (talk) 18:57, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
