Eritrea at the 2024 Summer Olympics

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

Fails WP:GNG and WP:TOOSOON, with one source being about Olympic entry standards that doesn't mention Eritrea, and the other being a tweet about an Eritrean cyclist winning the African Cycling Road Race Championships, however it doesn't mention the Olympics. The only thing I could find is | this, however it is quite short and is largely interview. A PROD was contested by page creator.

 * Perhaps it should be draftified, but in any case the names of the competitors need removing as there is no certainty at all that these persons will compete. E.g. the cyclist secured a place for Eritrea in the Olympic race, but Eritrea is free to send any cyclist they want (or none at all), the qualification was for the right to send one person, not individually for that person. Claming that these 6 persons will compete is at best way premature, and at worst just wrong crystal balling. Fram (talk) 07:36, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
 * It was draftified, but was then reverted by EurekaLott as the article was too old. Draftification until more information is available is probably the best option. JML1148 (talk &#124; contribs) 10:47, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Draftify per above points. I agree with the WP:TOOSOON but this will probably become relevant once the 2024 Summer Olympics start and would probably be best just to wait until we get coverage. Kline &#124; yes? 14:32, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * We have so many of these sorts of articles that are all WP:TOOSOON - there's an entire infobox on them! - and they'll all be notable at some point in the reasonably near future, and we have a number of impatient editors who are willing to start these pages that I'm not sure it's worth anyone's time to bother enforcing WP:TOOSOON for these as a set. I don't want to !vote keep though since the correct decision would be to bulk draftify X at the 2024 Summer Olympics. Just draftifying Eritrea and not say Costa Rica seems inconsistent and incorrect to me. SportingFlyer  T · C  16:19, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Draftify I guess, since there are no sources cited which are about the subject of the article. However the event is due to start in about a year and there will very likely be some sources about the subject soon. This AfD shouldn't be used to delete any version of the article which does have sources.  Hut 8.5  17:49, 15 June 2023 (UTC)Dper *Draftify - per Too soon Grahaml35 (talk) 18:56, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
