Lillehammer bid for the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Delete Lillehammer is the only bid so it is really unnecessary and redundant to have a separate page dedicated to it when it can be included on the main article (2016 Winter Youth Olympics). Intoronto1125 Talk Contributions  01:58, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Here is my idea. It is certain that the IOC will announce Lillehammer as the host city next month. Once this happens, we can get rid of this article. --MusicGeek101 (talk) 15:31, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Keep The scope of the article meets the general notability criteria, as it is the sources of much media attention. Just because there have not been any official bids does not mean that any of the other proposals are not notable (see for instance Trondheim bid for the 2018 Winter Olympics). Several of these bids would probably be warrant an article. This article would also be part of the summary style of the main 2016 Winter Youth Olympics, as it would summarized the proposals and bidding process of the Lillehammer bid, which would be undue weight in the main article, particularly after the games have been.
