Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2013

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article currently lists two sources, one leading to the frontpage of the official Junior Eurovision website, which does not confirm that the contest will run in 2013; and the second is to Ketnet (in Dutch) which is an application form for 2013, but no confirmation from the EBU of the 2013 contest taking place.

The article is essentially bare, no date, not host, and a bit WP:Crystal.  [[ axg ◉  talk   ]] 00:10, 2 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - the 2012 contest just ended within the last 24 hours, so this is very much TOOSOON. In similar "will probably happen but not for a while" circumstances, I've seen arguments for and against CRYSTAL, though I personally lean "for".  There are absolutely no policies for keeping articles with which this "article" complies.  Nevertheless, I would point out that we are an encyclopedia that is supposed to focus on third-party reliable sources with substantial coverage of events that have already occurred.  There has been a trend lately to create articles on things that simply haven't occurred yet in an effort to make WP a one-stop fan reference for whatever it is without regard to any policies whatsoever, and that needs to stop.

 * Neutral - I dont care if it is delete because the article will be re-created fast when the contest is confirmed. but on the other hand I dont see a reason to delete a article that will most likely be re-created within weeks/months. But whatever consensus say im on:)--BabbaQ (talk) 00:42, 2 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Junior Eurovision Song Contest as a possible search term.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 10:25, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Junior Eurovision Song Contest per Lugnuts; a screaming case of WP:CRYSTAL, as it's in no way confirmed that a 2013 edition will take place. – Kosm  1  fent  12:30, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
