Joe Biden presidential campaign, 2020

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. A man saying he will campaign doesn't mean there is already a campaign or that there will be one. There's nothing to write about. In fact, note that nothing in the article is about this supposed 2020 campaign. Largoplazo (talk) 11:47, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - The same thing happened last election, where he was '100% sure' he would run in 2016. He son passed away from cancer, he didn't run, and the world was shocked, anything can happen, so assumptions should not be made. UN$¢_Łuke_1Ø21Repørts


 * Delete - I think it is too early for such an article as per CRYSTAL Dunarc (talk) 20:41, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete when things are actually confirmed, we can have an article on it. -  C HAMPION  (talk) (contributions) (logs) 00:33, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - Biden only said that he "would" run in 2020, not "will".  Yoshiman6464   ♫🥚 01:54, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep the coverage alone merits the article. Juno (talk) 18:05, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:CRYSTAL per nom. This subject doesn't even exist except in an off-handed comment Biden made on December 5 at an unrelated event, and a follow-up response that he'd like to run but he knows there's no way to tell how things are going to go in 4 years.  This is the only real subject of this article: a single comment and follow-up question.  The first 4 sources cover this same couple minutes with the press.  A couple of the sources claim outright that he was joking.  The other 9 sources are just older background, unrelated to 2020. --Closeapple (talk) 23:20, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
