Eurovision Song Contest 2009

 * Keep, why delete it? Lilduff90 07:10, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * WP:CRYSTAL isn't enough of a reason for you? Morgan Wick 07:29, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, you have article about Olympic Games, regional Games (Asiad, etc) or other sporting events which are much further in the future. Eurovision is more important than most of these events in terms of public awareness. 193.56.37.1 07:42, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Please see WP:INN --Darkbane 19:34, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * KEEP.--Uannis 08:07, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:CRYSTAL: Individual scheduled or expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place. Due to the national finals and semi-finals, preparation for this event begins well in advance and is easily sourced. --Dhartung | Talk 08:36, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per everything said above.  Goldenglove Contribs · Talk 08:49, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete until the host is known. Punkmorten 09:34, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 2024 Summer Olympics !!! Hektor 09:59, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid argument. Also, that's different since cities bid to be Olympic hosts. There appears to really be some merit in starting speculation 20 years in advance. That doesn't excuse that article, though, since it appears to mostly be crystalballery. However, the site of the ESC is only determined one year in advance, not seven - and more importantly, absolutely nothing is known or can be affected about it until then.

 * Delete until the 2008 event in Belgrade has taken place. There's potentially a lot of change coming including the possibility that the 2009 event doesn't happen. MLA 10:01, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete No useful info. (What is there is wrong: I see an important typo in the lead.) The JPS talk to me  10:16, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Very little non-speculation content can be written about 2009 yet since 2007 has only just finished and disputable with WP:Crystal. Camaron1 | Chris 11:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I think its a little to early, the 2007 one only just finished, let alone thinking of the 2009 one.The Sunshine Man 11:27, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:CRYSTAL. Lankiveil 11:56, 14 May 2007 (UTC).
 * Delete per nom. Write it again next year, without a whole slew of TBA. --Darkbane 12:33, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete: apart from a rumour, this article contains no content whatsoever. --RFBailey 12:35, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Wanted this to be protected before some one edited it. AxG   ҈  ►  talk  12:45, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and then protect, the same thing happened with Eurovision Song Contest 2008. --Philip Stevens 13:19, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and protect if necessary. Despite being a certain and notable event, the article currently has no content. It can be created when at least basic information is announced. — An as  talk? 13:40, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete until something more than "rumors" and "it will take place" can be written about it.  Ark yan  &#149; (talk) 15:40, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete- per WP:CRYSTAL Thunderwing 20:13, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete- per WP:CRYSTAL JDBlues 22:40, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete- clear case of WP:NOT. Nihiltres(t.c.s) 23:36, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete as being nothing but rumours (the location can't even be known until about a year from now, and I think you'll find that at least one of the rumoured new entrants will have difficulty broadcasting the performance of a certain country with a star on its flag, even if there's chatter that it might enter). The only verifiable fact is the statement that there'll be two semis, and I'm pretty sure that's already at the entry on the 2008 ESC, which is a better place for it to be right now.

 * Delete. Highly speculative. With any luck, Eurovision will be cancelled well before it. *Ducks for cover* Axl 19:24, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete (for now). For one, not enough info, for two it is still two far away.--JForget 19:37, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
