Shenzhou 8, Shenzhou 9, Shenzhou 10
Although I've been working on these articles, I think we should get delete them under Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Currently the Chinese have not said a word about what will happen on the flights, and all we have on them is speculation from Western observers. Evil Monkey&#8756;Hello 23:39, 23 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete Any pertinent information there could be put under Shenzhou spacecraft future missions. --DNicholls 23:44, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Agree that there is room for growth, but in a couple of years. About all we can say about these flights is that they will happen after Shenzhou 7. Apart from that all we are doing is crystal ball gazing. To quote Wikipedia is not:
 * Individual scheduled or expected future events, such as the 2028 Summer Olympics, are not suitable topics for articles, unless they are as predictable as an astronomical event; planning or preparation for the event is already in progress and the preparation itself merits encyclopedic inclusion; or speculation is well documented, such as with the 2008 U.S. presidential election.

 * Weak delete. These will probably be launched and will be named such... however, we can't be perefectly sure, so delete for now until the Chinese government comes out with a plan. Sasquatch&#08242;&#08596;T&#08596;C 21:32, July 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete speculation. JamesBurns 04:43, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Wikipedia is not, can always be created if/when they happen. Jtkiefer  T - 07:06, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice against non-speculative future articles. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 07:07, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Shenzhou spacecraft. I would actually prefer Keep, but I guess that's not going to happen.  I suppose I'm one who doesn't mind if Wikipedia functions as a crystal ball. Jdavidb 17:25, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
