The rally was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The circumstances of this are addressed in the 2020 World Rally Championship article. This article only contains basic information about the rally, such as the itinerary; all rally report articles contain some variation of this. Mclarenfan17 (talk) 02:40, 31 May 2020 (UTC) [reply]

Possibly redirect to 2020 World Rally Championship, retaining the categories. Geschichte (talk) 09:46, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
keep - it's not unusual to have articles about cancelled events (Category:Sports events cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic), has more information than in the proposed target article. Pelmeen10 (talk) 11:24, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Even if the subject fails WP:GNG, it might be able to receive an article as per WP:5P5. Not to mention the article actually passes the GNG. Unnamelessness (talk) 14:13, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Lots of the entries in Category:Sports events cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic are redirects, including entries such as "2020 Dutch Grand Prix", incidentally a Formula 1 race, which is far more notable than WRC rallies. Geschichte (talk) 12:53, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:WAX should be avoided in the AFD. Unnamelessness (talk) 16:46, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tell that to the editor who wrote "it's not unusual to have articles about cancelled events". Geschichte (talk) 12:32, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Don't forget he also pointed out "has more information than in the proposed target article". Unnamelessness (talk) 04:16, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
