Draft:2024 AFL season

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

Even if it didn't contain a couple of "likely"s, a "possible" and an "unknown", as well as sources which are all unsuitable for Wikipedia, the article already exists as a redirect and will be created properly once the fixture is released at the end of this year as per usual; I know it's a draft, but just feels way WP:TOOSOON. 4TheWynne  (talk  •  contribs)  13:26, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - As you yourself said, it's a draft, and WP:TOOSOON does not apply to draftspace per WP:NDRAFT, and per the outcome of Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Death and state funeral of Jimmy Carter. Starting the shell of an article now with the expectation of further development later is not in and of itself prohibited. --⛵ WaltClipper - (talk)  14:11, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm not fully versed in draft deletion policies so this will be a bit more about 'the vibe', but AFL season articles essentially start from this same blank template with no need for a gradual draft to be developed over time; there will be nothing new which can be added between now and October when history shows it is likely to be made live - which I think is a clear distinction between this case and the Jimmy Carter one, which reasonably had multi editor collaboration ahead of its becoming an article. This seems to have been created only to avoid an infobox redlink or no-link diff, which is certainly not what we want to be doing, and it's to avoid this issue that reason I'd suggest deletion.

 * Keep - It's a draft. Maybe we should instruct overly eager patrollers of the New Page feed that it is very seldom useful to review new drafts for anything except BLP violations. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:42, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. What's in the draft now is not very useful, but deleting it won't help editors write the future article; there's no real problem that needs to be addressed through deletion. —Alalch E. 16:04, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
