Deletion[edit]

I oppose the deletion of this article as while there may not be much now, the 2012 election season is upon us, and something could happen very soon. This isn't WP:Crystal Ball, so I see no reason to delete this page. America69 (talk) 00:33, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you disagree, just remove the {{proposed deletion/dated}} template. From WP:CRYSTAL: "By comparison, the 2020 U.S. presidential election and 2036 Summer Olympics are not appropriate article topics if nothing can be said about them that is verifiable and not original research." So even though those events are pretty definitely going to happen, the fact that there's nothing to say about them disqualifies them from deserving articles. I think the same applies here. Obviously I'd expect it to be re-created as and when some actual information becomes available – e.g. when Markell or someone else announces his or her plans. – hysteria18 (talk) 15:24, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
