Birmingham 2020

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This is not notable per WP:CRYSTAL. Birmingham, Alabama is not seriously considering a bid to host the 2020 Summer Olympics. The mayor of Birmingham suggested a bid, and the idea has not received any support. Per 2020 Summer Olympics: "In June 2008, Birmingham mayor Larry Langford proposed that the city prepare a bid to host the 2020 Summer Olympics. The mayor's proposal has received little support, both among Birmingham's city council and the USOC.  His aspirational proposal features the slogan, “Olympics 2020: Why Not Birmingham?”  At this point, Birmingham has a mention in the 2020 Summer Olympics article, and I don't see why it needs anything more than that until a source can be produced that affirms that Birmingham is making a serious bid.  Also, creator of article is a SPA.    talk 15:38, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete/Merge - Doesn't need its own article. There should be information about the bid on the main 2020 Summer Olympics article though. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 16:35, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. The proposed bid is already mentioned at 2020 Summer Olympics. If the bid becomes a more concrete proposal which actually is going to be formally submitted to the USOC, the article can be re-created at an appropriate time. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:09, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete, as already covered in 2020 olympics article, unless there is significant coverage of this bid alone. Frankly, this bid sounds like a huge longshot, just like Tulsa, also listed on the 2020 page.--Milowent (talk) 15:00, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - Already covered elsewhere, and considering Langford's recent conviction and subsequent removal from office, it seems we've heard the last of any Olympic bid. --Spyder_Monkey (Talk) 23:02, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
