Virginia gubernatorial election, 2013
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This event is three years away, and is nothing more than unsourced speculation, a blatant WP:CRYSTAL violation. While it will happen, I think that the concerns raised in the prior AfD that It has no significant coverage yet still is relevant. I decided to relist it here at AfD instead of using G4 because some time has passed and the last AfD was not a clear consensus. Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 23:02, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete WP:CRYSTAL ball. Saying it will happen is like saying the Chicago Cubs will win the World Series.  It could, you never know, but you go off it could.  Whose to say an election won't happen sooner?   Mr. C.C. Hey yo!I didn't do it! 02:26, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:CRYSTAL. There's no value in having this article at all until we can actually add real sources regarding real issues that are actually under discussion and real candidates who are actually throwing their hat in the ring. Bearcat (talk) 02:30, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete same as above. This is too far into the future..  Traxs 7   (Talk) 05:46, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete We see these a lot, and they truly are the image conveyed by WP:CRYSTALBALL -- an editor gazing into the glass sphere and telling us who the "potential candidates" are. "I see the U.S. Senator who won't be up for re-election that year....  I see the current Lieutenant Governor, what's his name... I see the guy who lost the last election, what's his name..."

 * Delete and Redirect to Governor of Virginia. The redirect might help to prevent recreation over the next few years. Once we have actual committees and declared candidates and for-reals information, then an article might become appropriate - but not for a while, yet.
