2014 in spaceflight

One of those "in the future" articles with no useful content. See also 2013 in spaceflight. Rasputin72 (talk) 04:25, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Another user and I were the two prods. Too far ahead for what is really a retrospective article. We had been involved in discussions with the original creator and I think he/she has turned their interests towards some more time-appropriate articles.

Comment. That user just created the "2013 in spaceflight" article about 5 minutes ago. Rasputin72 (talk) 04:38, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. There goes my "we had it figured out" theory. Shadowjams (talk) 04:57, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the general practice of the Timeline of Spaceflight wikiproject is for only the upcoming two years' of articles to exist due to sourcing issues as well as sheer numbers of confirmed missions available. These pages are not really worthwhile with only one to five launches listed. -MBK₀₀₄ 05:26, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This article appears to be too speculative. Even according to the single mission mentioned in this page, the mission is in the planning stages and may change a lot. Who knows if it will really happen. So to declare it as a 2014 space flight is speculative. Also, as this article stands it is duplication because the only mission mentioned, BepiColombo, already has its own page on Wikipedia.

Conditional delete, whilst this is too far ahead to be useful, a previous AFD on a similar article found that lists of future spaceflights in general are acceptable. WP:TLS generally keeps articles for a maximum of two years ahead of the current one, which takes us up to 2012. Therefore I would support deletion on the condition that it may be recreated on or after 1 January 2012 without the need for a formal deletion review (the current content of this article is likely to be completely out of date by then, and the format is not consistent with other articles in this series, so starting from scratch would be easier than restoring the deleted content. --G W… 09:37, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I agree its too far ahead and there are no really reliable sources for that far ahead. I agree with the articles re-creation when it is the right time, and for to be formatted to be the same as all the others.--NavyBlue84 14:01, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Per WP:CRYSTAL. Joe Chill (talk) 15:00, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:CRYSTAL, also space missions aren't too well-known for sticking with their schedules. Them From Space 04:06, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. 2014 is too far ahead at this current time to really accurately cover potential spaceflight events. Cocytus [»talk«] 01:25, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
