Busan bid for the 2020 Summer Olympics

Delete Not a offical bid, has hardly any sources etc as well it is a crystal ball. Intoronto1125 (talk) 18:53, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep I'm not quite sure what deletion criteria the nominator has in mind, but the article is both meets the general notability guidelines and is verifiable. The article is clearly notable, as it has been the subject to multiple, independent new coverage from reliable sources, including international sources, for instance, and . In addition there is Korean media coverage which I am not able to read. The fact that the bid is not "official" (I'm a bit uncertain of what the nominator means by this, but I presume the nominator means officially submitted) is not possible yet, because the deadline is still in the future. The proposal is official enough that it has its own web site .  The sources state the intention of the KOC to proceed with the bids, should Pyeongchang fail to be awarded the 2018 Games. Regarding WP:CRYSTAL, the article is not "a collection of unverifiable speculation", but instead a summary of verifiable information which both describes the bid history (yes, part of the bid process has already happened) and, if the article is expanded, a presentation of the details of the bid as they are presented to the public.

 * Keep or Merge In light of the bidding schedule, I don't think this is really a crystal ball issue. See Timeline. That said, until there is a formal bid, perhaps the coverage should be limited to Asian bids section in the 2020 Olympics article. Monty  845  19:25, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment The bid is not offical, maybe a redirect until it is offically announced? Intoronto1125 (talk) 21:48, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge to 2020 Summer Olympics. Until there's something official, there's nothing to warrant a separate article.--70.80.234.196 (talk) 22:23, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge to 2020 Summer Olympics. Verifiable by the sources listed; however, this article is not so large that it can't be summarized in the main article (indeed, several cities have larger sections already than Busan, yet this is the only separate bid article for 2020). I'd be inclined to wait until a formal bid to create separate bid articles as well. BryanG (talk) 22:46, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep It does have sources and references so no deletion. Maybe merge it to the 2020 Summer Olympics as already mentioned. Kante4 (talk) 18:59, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
