Deletion of 2026

Comment: per  and  as a nomination that is |apparently making some kind of  about Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2026 FIFA World Cup and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2026 FIFA Wolrd Cup (sic), though I don't know what point. We have articles AND TEMPLATES through 2059, 2110s, and 40th century, and we tap out at 11th millennium and beyond. ('''Did you know''' the Crypt of Civilization will be unsealed on 28 May 8113?) Who could forget the haunting refrains from "There Will Come Soft Rains", where all the computers are chiming out about 4 August 2026, that are seared into our collective consciousness like a silhouette on a wall? Oh wait, wrong forum. Look, I did some work on the set of articles such as 10 zeptometres, which is an article that happens to list ZERO elements and is still sustainable as a placeholder and part of a set. Basically, this large future-event article set is a long-supported and rarely-challenged function of WP's larger scope and 2026 has significant mention in numerous reliable sources

Comment: per . 16 years into the future is essentially pure speculation (I'd equate it as "future history" example). "In fiction" section is trivial. By the same token, the 2020+ year articles should be deleted as well.--Special:Contributions/70.80.234.196|70.80.234.196
