The result was   Delete. As noted, no prejudice exists against creation of this article when the event is imminent, such as when candidates have actually filed paperwork to become candidates. Speaking for myself, I would recommend seeking counsel from WikiProject Politics, as they deal with upcoming elections all the time. UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 13:42, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

San Francisco mayoral election, 2011

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

An IP removed the proposed deletion tag I added, so I'm taking this to AfD. This seems to be a clear case of Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, and standard procedure is against articles such as this one.  Enigma  message 22:14, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and recreate later. I believe that the standard is that articles about the next upcoming election are OK, but this one has only speculation. Once there are actually declared candidates or issues involved it can be recreated. Jim Miller (talk) 22:37, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. Aside from the fact the election will happen, this article is unsourced speculation. Until somebody does a concrete act for this election, there's not enough WP:verifiable information to establish notability. • Gene93k (talk) 23:18, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I actually took the liberty of actually editing this and adding a source instead of you guys bickering and bitching about this article getting deleted. You can help edit it instead of arguing like and old republican senator. Thats the point of Wikipedia, not to delete articles, to create, edit and make articles better. And you guys who are just showing opinion, why don't you act and help instead of hiding in the corner scared like a dog in between it's tail. I'm sick and tired of you guys who have the word DELETE ringing in your head for every article that doesn't even have one source when you can actually have the balls to Google the topic, source it and put in on the article. Again Wikipedia is a place to create and edit information, not to delete information because of some stupid reason that can be fixed easily but none of you guys have the balls to do it. Ok my rant is over but you should seriously think about it though. Basically everything on this article is basic knowlegde and you can find it on other article on Wikipedia relating to Mayor of San Francisco. The only thing that I see that needs a source which none of you had the balls to do was the potential candidates. At least have the balls to act and speak unlike you losers.--Gndawydiak (talk) 17:00, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete this scheduled future event without prejudice. Cliff smith  talk  19:03, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and this event is a significant amount of time away. Recreate with more information when it is available - closer to the date. ~ Ame I iorate U T C @ 06:25, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
