South Carolina gubernatorial election, 2022

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:TOOSOON article about a state gubernatorial election that's more than four years away as of today -- there's literally nothing of substance to say about this yet except that it's going to happen, and the only source being cited here is an unreliable blog entry about the incumbent governor predicting that he'll serve for at least ten years, not reliable or notability-supporting media coverage of the 2022 election as a thing that anybody's paying attention to yet. No prejudice against recreation in 2021 or 2022 when things are actually happening for an article to talk about, but there's simply no reason or need for this to already exist today.

 * Delete per both WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTAL. Only one unreliable source cited. Incumbent is not even officially known and won't be until November. Having this article before then is pure speculation. Tillerh11 (talk) 18:58, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
 * And even then, the incumbent could still resign or die, or choose not to run again sometime in the next four years, or try to run again in 2022 but lose the primary. So even if he wins this fall, that still doesn't constitute a guarantee that he'll actually still be the Republican candidate in 2022. Bearcat (talk) 15:32, 15 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete Usually we don't have articles on the election after next. Number   5  7  19:22, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Four years out is an eternity in politics and it's an article based on just two presumed candidates.  We don't yet have the results of the 2018 election. We are an encyclopedia and new articles should have sufficient content to provide useful information. Blue Riband► 02:04, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
 * This is no different than having a presidential election page four years in advance. Come on, people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.231.171.38 (talk) 15:15, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
