2028 ICC Men's T20 World Cup: See this discussion about Future ICC Tournaments' deletion.  Current page should be kept as a redirect to ICC Men's T20 World Cup 𝓥𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷24𝓑𝓲𝓸 ( ᴛᴀʟᴋ ) 13:28, 29 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note:  This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Cricket , Australia ,  and New Zealand .  Shellwood ( talk ) 14:03, 29 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment.  Unless there's a really good rationale for putting this article through AfD after it literally survived the previous one _last month_, I call outlandish.  Don't know what's changed.  Keep.  -- Ouro ( blah blah ) 15:43, 29 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .  It survived last month.  Event is certain to happen.  If it was 2032 I might say redirect, but it's only 4 years away.  Odd nomination.  AA ( talk ) 16:12, 29 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] It's only the host that has been confirmed; not even the format is confirmed it.  The ICC has stated that the 2024 format is to be kept but, it is likely that the format could change for 2028 depending on the outcome of the 2024 Tournament.  𝓥𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷24𝓑𝓲𝓸 ( ᴛᴀʟᴋ ) 16:23, 29 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Furthermore, WP:CRYSTAL says, "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place. Dates are not definite until the event actually takes place, as even otherwise- notable events can be cancelled or postponed at the last minute by a major incident. If preparation for the event is not already in progress, speculation about it must be well documented." 𝓥𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷24𝓑𝓲𝓸 ( ᴛᴀʟᴋ ) 16:29, 29 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] As said at this discussion we can be certain about an ICC Event once the qualification process starts.  But, it starts with the previous tournament's top performers.  From this we can conclude that the Article about 2028 tournament should be created when we get close to the 2026 tournament.  𝓥𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷24𝓑𝓲𝓸 ( ᴛᴀʟᴋ ) 16:35, 29 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] An Example of this would be what happened to the 2020 ICC Men's T20 World Cup .  The event was very certain to happen until, COVID came.  We don't know what will happen in 2028; even ICC could change their decisions.

MNWiki845 ( talk ) 20:26, 29 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Idts Countries have finished the bidding and are scheduled to host the events.  The 2020 olympics page also existed before covid.  if a bid has been confirmed by icc then every page till 2031 should infact be made.  example would be 2034 FIFA World Cup Pharaoh496 ( talk ) 12:43, 4 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep already (possibly barely) passes WP:GNG , so I don't see WP:CRYSTAL applying here.  SportingFlyer T · C 16:41, 29 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Why doesn't WP:CRYSTAL applies here?  𝓥𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷24𝓑𝓲𝓸 ( ᴛᴀʟᴋ ) 17:06, 29 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Procedural keep there was consensus last month to keep it, people shouldn't just nominate articles again because they disagree with a recent outcome, WP:DRV would be the process to challenge that close.  Joseph 2302 ( talk ) 17:11, 29 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Got it.  I was unaware of DRV while starting this AfD.  𝓥𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷24𝓑𝓲𝓸 ( ᴛᴀʟᴋ ) 17:18, 29 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] I'm very confident DRV would not have overturned the last AfD.  It only looks at whether the closer made the correct decision based on the consensus of the discussion.  SportingFlyer T · C 20:42, 29 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per WP:CRYSTAL , which says "expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place" – seems to apply here; event is notable, and is almost certain to take place.  Even the nominator has admitted that the only previous time a major ICC event didn't happen was due to an unprecedented global pandemic.  Harrias (he/him) • talk 19:02, 29 February 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] There's also 2024 Under-19 Cricket World Cup , where hosts were stripped out just 2 months prior to the tournament.  So, we can't be sure about the hosts; not the format either.  Only thing we know about the tournament for sure is that it is to take place in 2028.  Which is not enough for an encyclopaedic article.  At least draftification is needed here.  𝓥𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷24𝓑𝓲𝓸 ( ᴛᴀʟᴋ ) 04:55, 1 March 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Note:  This discussion has been included in the list of Events-related deletion discussions .
