Fails WP:GNG and is almost certainly WP:TOOSOON. This is a contested draftification since the article was created by a cut-and-paste move from Draft:2024 Call of Duty League season. Since the draft still exists, I'd recommend deletion for the mainspace page. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 01:39, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep on the basis that it is supposed to start in a month, so this would be an AFD based on TOOSOON with no real practical effect since recreation would be allowed in 4 weeks. If we were talking the 2025 season, absolutely TOOSOON applies. --Masem (t) 05:15, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There's also the notability issue, as the article currently only cites one primary source. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 13:31, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also, what's the encyclopedic value of keeping an article comprised almost entirely of empty tables? I'm not seeing how this would be beneficial to readers until the event begins or there's addition content added. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 14:26, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Strictly speaking, the nominator has a point, but per WP:NOTBURO, there is no point in re-draftifying an article that is 100% guaranteed to be notable in just a week or two after this discussion closes. Even in the unlikely event of something weird happening and the season is surprise canceled, then that just means that the article will be merged or moved. This kind of slightly eager un-draftification is perfectly defensible WP:BOLD editing. (I have no objection to an administrator doing some sort of page history merge or round-robin move to deal with the cut & paste page history issue.)

Reluctant keep given the timing of everything about to play out here. IIRC, I think we have articles for the next 3 Super Bowls. AfD discussion was probably TOOSOON. I want to commend SnowFire for their analysis of WP:NOTBURO, that's a better summary of my intuition than I could've given. microbiologyMarcus ^{(petri dish•growths)} 19:36, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
