The Ghana bid is provisional on several elements and the other two are speculative. Clearly WP:TOOSOON. A redirect might be appropriate but I'm not sure what that target would be. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:01, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to FIFA World Cup, as I believe has happened in the past. Giant Snowman 18:12, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I am not sure what to do about these future events, I nominated a few that were 100+ years in the future and they were kept. My WP:CRYSTAL does not look that far ahead. Lightburst (talk) 18:41, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is way too soon as this article is both WP:NOTCRYSTAL & WP:TOOSOON. And we don't even know if there will be a World Cup 18 years from now. Pahiy (talk) 20:20, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to FIFA World Cup. Far too soon to have its own article. Foxnpichu (talk) 23:07, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Redirect per WP:NOTCRYSTALBALL. This is way too soon. Eti15TrSf (talk) 03:46, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect (and protect for at least a year) per everyone above. The bids are all far too speculative to have any content here. power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:13, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I just now noticed that this a second nomination! Yes, by all means WP:SALT and let someone in the WP:FOOTY project request unlocking when the bidding process actually commences. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:32, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect until such time as we know something less speculative -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:11, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and WP:SALT per WP:TOOSOON....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 10:07, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
SALT Clearly Either or Or, but the competition is way off, one thing is for sure these world cup articles should be salt'ed. Govvy (talk) 11:51, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
