Bangladesh Air Show

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

In September 2020, the government issued a press release saying they would put on an air show the next year. Then they held a launch event in November for a website for said show, rescheduled for February 2022. Then in September 2021 they announced that it would be postponed again because of COVID-19. My searches found no evidence that it has taken place or is currently planned.

At each step the press has dutifully parroted the official announcements, but without adding any analysis, evaluation, or interpretation. There are no truly independent secondary sources that contain significant coverage about the future event. If it ever gets off the ground, such sources are likely to be written, but this article was created too soon. It was PRODed at the time, but the original author removed the tag. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, and should not have an article about this just because the promoters said it might happen someday. Worldbruce (talk) 07:10, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete while announcements of the event are reliably sourced, the event hasn't happened and so isn't worthy of a page. This can all be covered in one sentence on Bangladesh Air Force and/or Cox's Bazar International Airport. Page can be recreated if the event actually happens. FWIW the original creator account is globally locked. Mztourist (talk) 03:18, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
