Downtown Jeddah

There's not enough sources to have this published at the moment. It fails WP:GNG and WP:RS. With time it may warrant a page but not at the moment hence WP:TOOSOON.

Note that i already moved this previously to draft but author recreated again in mainspace anyway. Lapablo (talk) 21:53, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete I agree, WP:TOOSOON Let the project get underway and then recreate the article.TH1980 (talk) 03:02, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete after looking up WP:GNG, and as the creator of this wikipedia topic, I think this article should be deleted and recreated when Downtown Jeddah project gets started as suggested.--Nerdysturdy (talk) 18:21, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. The Saudi Gazette acknowledges that this is a $5 bn project. Other reliable sources exist that attest that this project occurring, including Arab News and Asharq Al-Awsat.   desmay (talk) 20:24, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. Definitely a case of WP:TOOSOON as construction doesn't even appear to have been started yet. Also the article claims that the project was announced in September 2019, a month that hasn't even arrived yet. Eliko007 (talk) 21:13, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Reliable sources attest that this massive project is going to go ahead and there are already worthwhile facts to write about. Deleting only to recreate when the first shovel goes into the ground is, candidly, bureaucratic and would deprive the reader of information meanwhile. 2A02:C7F:4481:8300:90DC:E235:5074:54B0 (talk) 18:20, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. I also think that this case falls under WP:TOOSOON. Let's wait until the project actually gets started. Various kinds of announcements of big projects often fail to materialize, get postponed, etc. If someone wants to take the page and keep it as a draft in their userspace for the time being, that'd be fine too.
