2014 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season

It's simply too early, and the page contains no real content - just a list of riders and the teams they are contracted to race for. Although there are some motorsport season pages that have been created two years in advance - most notably 2014 Formula One season - the creation of these pages is justfied by significant rule changes to the sport that will dramatically alter the category. There is no evidence of any such changes here. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 23:09, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:CRYSTAL, which states "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place". Lugnuts ^{And the horse} 06:34, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Maybe, but there is not enough to sustain the page on the page itself. It's just a list of drivers who are contracted to race in 2014, and nothing more. Based on that logic, you might as well create a page for the 2015 season, because that is notable and almost certain to happen, even if all we know about the 2015 season is that some riders have contracts to race then.

Delete Let's see what happens once 2012 & 2013 come and go. With so many variables that will can and will affect any layout in 2014, this runs into WP:TOOSOON. Яεñ99 (talk) 09:21, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Crystal and just too early. We should at least wait until the schedule is launched. Kante4 (talk) 15:58, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:TOOSOON. There just isn't enough material to sustain an article yet. This article should definitely be created at some point, but right now, its too far in the future to be able to reliably record much information. Rorshacma (talk) 17:21, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
