List_of_cities_that_have_not_hosted_the_Olympic_Games may be reasonable. Delete the rest. -- User:Docu


 * Move to BJAODN -- quite good. Still, it's probably just as meaningful as a lot of the other stupid Olympics lists that have cropped up.  RickK 22:16, Aug 29, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, BJAODN. Lacrimosus 22:18, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * delete as a prank, perhaps keep the ones that failed to win enough votes under a more appropriate title, but I bet its not a complete list as it stands. &mdash; siro  &chi;  o  22:21, Aug 29, 2004 (UTC)
 * VETO - According to the title, this could refer to any city in the world that hasn't hosted a games, even my cute little town. I agree w/ Docu in the section that may work, but that can be moved somewhere more appropriate.  -- Merovingian  &#9997;  Talk  22:26, Aug 29, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fire Star 22:29, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete with reservations. I vote for a deletion, but to keep the cities that did not win enough votes under a more appropriate title. There's no reason to have cities like Troy and Gotham City, there. Sean 22:32, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete.--Samuel J. Howard 23:59, Aug 29, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: Also, be sure to put all the micronation capitals on the list as it goes to BJAODN. Geogre 01:04, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Move to List of cities that have failed to win enough votes to host the Olympic Games or something similar, and delete the rest of the junk.   &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 01:33, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)


 * Although someone has cut the rubbish out, it's still a bad title. I'd suggest move to Unsuccesful candidate cities to host Olympic Games Average Earthman 10:15, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep, per move to Earthman's title. And remove the cities (i.e. Melbourne and Montreal) that *have* actually had the Games. Ambi 13:10, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * That should be Unsuccessful candidate cities to host Olympic Games. RickK 19:25, Aug 30, 2004 (UTC)
 * If someone was willing to write the rest of the article, this would be better suited as a section of an article named Olympic Games host selection process/procedure or Olympic games bidding process/procedure -- Chuq 05:22, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'm currently working on making this new page complete based on data from here. - Plutor 17:05, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Done. I agree that this would be better as a part of a page about the Olympic selection procedure, or at least at a more succint name, like List of cities that failed in their Olympic bid. -Plutor 17:17, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Note, it has been moved to List of cities that failed in their bids to host the Olympics by somebody. -- user:zanimum
 * Keep since merge. ··gracefool |&#9786; 10:02, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. From the page: This is a list of cities that applied to host the Olympic Games but were not chosen by the IOC to do so. Perfectly good information in an encyclopaedia encompassing potentially everything. zoney &#09619;  &#09618; talk 00:21, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. New article is fantastic. Ambi 09:33, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)
