Unsourced stub, PROD tag says "WP:Too soon". KATMAKROFAN (talk) 02:40, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete' as original prodder. Its 3 years out, and the level of coverage about the topics seems way, way lower than it needs to be to be encyclopedic -- its all going to be speculation and/or promises from the political types. Sadads (talk) 14:09, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment -- WE have articles on about 10 past ones, so that we will presumably want one on this in due course. However, it all seems too distant, a classic case of WP:CRYSTAL.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:45, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Official stated by Pope Francis and official confirmed by the President Of Panama State.--Spacejam2 (talk) 18:49, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete: It's too far in the future and without significant media coverage to be an article yet. Let's at least wait until the event is near. --MorbidEntree - (Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥) (please reply using &#x7B;&#x7B;ping&#x7D;&#x7D;) 13:33, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Already in other languages. More than 1 million pilgrims expected. Highly important catholic meeting. See German Wikipedia, Polish Wikipedia, Spanish Wikipedia, French Wikipedia, Italian Wikipedia--Spacejam2 (talk) 20:46, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:HAMMER - almost certain to happen, even if (God forbid) we have a new Pope, with lists of probable speakers, themes, hotels/hostels, and locations of masses. World Youth Day is planned three years in advance, because it is such a gigantic event, on the scale of the Summer Olympics, a national election, or the World Cup. FWIW, I'm Episcopalian. Bearian (talk) 00:10, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep- look at history of last ones- millions attend each one. The event is planned years out because of the scope of it. People who have never heard of WYD are going to want to get more information on this and wiki is probably one of their first sources of information — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.2.126.34 (talk) 17:44, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - reasonably sourced and it contains useful non-speculative information about the future event (so WP:NOTCRYSTAL doesn't apply).. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 05:07, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep The event is surely notable, and there is enough information now for an article. --MelanieN (talk) 02:46, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Here are three sources in the article: There is enough coverage to satisfy Notability and to render WP:NOTCRYSTAL inapplicable to this topic. Cunard (talk) 00:37, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
