Fails WP:NOTDIR...Rameshnta909 (talk) 20:25, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Keep The nominator fails to realize that articles like these exist for a variety of continental sporting events. They are considered as notable by the relevant WP:MSE Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 22:06, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

::The page is about the performance of a country in a future sports event. Doesn't make any sense to me. Shouldn't we at least wait for the event to be over...Rameshnta909 (talk) 12:15, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

:::That's a fair bit of hyperbole; there's a difference between an event three months away and an event three years away. I'm rather neutral about the page itself (easy enough to REFUND in Feb if it is deleted now) but there is plenty of precedent from various places (politics, sports, film) to have articles a short time before the actual event occurs. Primefac (talk) 12:49, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

::::So you are in favour of keeping the article..? As Sportsfan 1234 pointed out there are other pages similar to this as well...Rameshnta909 (talk) 12:53, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

:::::To quote myself, {{tq|I'm rather neutral about the page itself}}. Primefac (talk) 12:55, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

::::::My rule of thumb to create these articles is when the media mention the team size (or athlete names) or when the Organizing Committee of the said games confirm the countries competing. In all of the countries cases for these games the latter has happened. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 14:41, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
