Bangkok–Chonburi bid for the 2030 Summer Youth Olympics

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This page is not relevant to the bid anymore. There is also not enough strong information for a separate page to be created just for a bid. Yellow alligator (talk) 23:22, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: Personally I'd support deletion, as the content appears to be a really fan-crufty collection of routine news coverage, but I'm not quite sure that there's a direct policy violation here. It's hard to argue that the GNG isn't met when an article is refbombed with so many news articles. --Paul_012 (talk) 16:30, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - it appears to meet GNG, though the article could use some cleanup and rewriting. The article might not be relevant anymore, but that doesn't mean it loses notability, see WP:NOTTEMPORARY. Many Olympic bids have their own pages, but I don't think the Olympics Wikiproject has a specific guideline for bid pages and whether or not the Youth Olympic bids are notable enough for their own pages. We might need to open up a discussion about that. The page is decent enough as it is, despite it needing a cleanup, and I find it hard justifying deleting it at this moment.

 * Keep - with the reminder that notability is not temporary and the assessment that this probably meets the requirements of our general notability guideline, does the nominator have any further contribution for us to consider?  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 06:40, 11 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep - hosting the Youth Olympic Games is a notable topic. It can improve certain domestic aspects for the host, like tourism and promotion of sports for children. Also the bidding is important since it is a long process and Thailand has never hosted the Olympic Games. The process of bidding to host this kind of games demands a lot of different departments to collaborate. However the English proficiency needs improvement. --Chris VDR (talk) 09:27, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 2030 Summer Youth Olympics. The Youth Olympic Games are so low-profile that I never hear anything about them except from reading Wikipedia articles. They may indeed satisfy WP:GNG but I wouldn't want to suggest that they are anywhere near as high-profile as the regular Olympics. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:20, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * But do you think having an article about an obviously notable Youth Olympics bid takes something away from the project's coverage of the regular Olympics? Like, we have an article about the Papuan eagle, but I don't think that takes anything away from the obviously better-known Bald eagle... We're not running out of pages, are we?

 * I'm questioning whether the bid is "obviously" notable. Maybe it is notable, but of the English-language sources cited here, all of them appear to be the International Olympic Committee website or specialized sites focusing on Olympic-related coverage like GamesBids and Inside the Games. And all the non-English sources are in Thai. For an article pertaining to an international event, I would expect that sources of more general interest would be available in English. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 14:16, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, makes sense. Appreciate the further explanation.  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 23:45, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. I disagree with the nom, however, because I don't see how it could be the case that "this page is not relevant to the bid anymore". If no other city is bidding, as 2030 Summer Youth Olympics implies, then Bangkok-Chonburi will be awarded the event, which would at least justify a redirect to the event as opposed to deleting the separate page for the bid altogether. It would be irrelevant to have a page for a bid if the bid was abandoned before making any significant progress, which is not the situation here. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:46, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
