Per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2034 Winter Olympics. No country has even announced a bid. It’s WP:TOOSOON for an article. 160.72.80.50 (talk) 15:10, 13 November 2022 (UTC) - Completed per request on talk page for IP ~ GB fan 12:50, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and Move to Bids for the 2036 Summer Olympics I'm not sure what the state of the 2034 Winter Olympics article was, but based on the coverage in sources in the 2036 article, there's enough to meet WP:GNG. Looking at the guideline in WP:CRYSTAL, it says If preparation for the event is not already in progress, speculation about it must be well documented. With 51 citations I think that qualifies as "well documented." Qwaiiplayer (talk) 13:40, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Based on the below discussion I'm in agreement with moving the article and structuring it similarly to Bids for the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 15:12, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There is a sensible discussion about this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2036_Summer_Olympics CT55555 (talk) 14:07, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Leaning delete I'm open minded to be persuaded, although comments in the link above don't persuade me, I don't have a strong view. Reasons I lean delete:

I generally don't expect the encycloprdia to contain information about events that did not occur, even if they are likely to occur.
If it were happening tomorrow and we knew where and there was important information about that, I'd say keep. So therefore there is obviously a sliding scale in my head of time and information, but we're not there yet in my opinion.
If there was a meaningful amount of information to convey, I'd be persuaded, but right now we don't even know what country it is happening in. CT55555 (talk) 14:11, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete TOOSOON. I'd wait until we have a bit more information to share, this is just that there's an Olympics happening in 15 or so years from now, in an unknown country. Oaktree b (talk) 15:38, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Host are announced around 12 years before event takes place. Like 2032 olympics is going to take place in Brisbane. Srijan Suryansh (talk) 09:16, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:CRYSTAL, future events should be included if they are notable (which an Olympic Games obviously is) and almost certain to take place (which there is no reason to believe it wouldn’t, given the massive buildup around it and the fact that the 2020 olympics still occurred [albeit delayed] despite a global pandemic). There is already a lot of WP:SIGCOV of the new bidding process and of nations interested in bidding. Frank Anchor 19:11, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:TOOSOON. Keep and move to Bids for the 2036 Summer Olympics. ~~That said, a~~Articles on Bids for the Summer Olympics are a thing, and once there are actual bids, this page should follow the format established by past pages such as Bids for the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics, Bids for the 2020 Summer Olympics, etc., and probably be named Bids for the 2036 Summer Olympics.

Updated !vote, as Mexico has apparently bid as of October 27, 2022, and there may be others. The page just needs to be renamed and updated. But it also needs to clear, it's focusing on the bidding process, an important topic where more transparency is required. Cielquiparle (talk) 19:29, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- Move Agreed, the information about bids is being mentioned in secondary sources. One recent event that comes to mind is Indonesia recently giving a speech at the G20 about their intended 2036 Olympics bid. The most relevant information that exists is about Bids and the article should be centered accordingly. EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 13:42, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The first Summer Olympics whose host city is not known; we must stay caught up with this article as long as there's no confirmed host city. Georgia guy (talk) 12:40, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Around two years are left for 2024 Paris olympics around which official announcement for 2036 host will be done. So in first quarter of most of bidding nations will announce their potential bids.Srijan Suryansh (talk) 09:13, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Brisbane has already been awarded the 2032 games and so 2036 is the next available game available. I think this page should be kept as it collects all proposed bids that have been reported in the media. From my knowledge, South Korea, Mexico, and Indonesia have already launched official intentions to host the 2036 edition, so it does not make any sense to delete this page. When the 2036 games are awarded sometime in the near future, all the bids on the page can be moved to a separate page labeled "Bids for 2036 Summer Olympics" as what happened with the 2032 Summer Olympics page. Deleting the page will only cause a loss of important information for people and Wikipedia. User:Yellow alligator 22:51, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is the 1st Summer Olympics whose host city is not known & in the bidding process.Yeungkahchun (talk) 20:01, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Withdraw but move The keep voters convinced me, this should stay, however as it is I feel it is still blatantly misleading. I feel like it should be kept and moved to Bids for the 2036 Summer Olympics, so readers know it is strictly about the bidding and not anything else. 160.72.80.50 (talk) 22:06, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
