Tulsa Olympics

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is an 80Kb article about a study to possibly make an Olympic bid. The article states that there is no support from the US committee for a Tulsa bid, and 2020 Summer Olympics does not include Tulsa as a possibility. Moreover, the article talks as much or more about Atlanta's Olympic bid than Tulsa and it's full of original research. I'm sorry, but I just can't understand its encyclopedic value.

 * Delete. This is a bid that has not come to fruition yet. We already know that the U.S. will not be submitting a bid for the 2020 Summer Olympics. According to 2016 Summer Olympics, the International Olympic Committee apparently officially starts the bidding process nine years before the Games (two years before the site is selected, which in turn is seven years before the Games). Thus, an official bid for Tulsa could not be mounted before 2015 at the earliest. Hence, I couldn't support an article about this bid until at least 2014, which is when the U.S. Olympic Committee would choose its bidding city for 2024, if indeed it chooses to bid at all for that year. I also agree that this article devotes way too much of its content to discussion of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:29, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
