WrestleMania XXX

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails the CRYSTALBALL test. This event isn't scheduled to take place until April of 2014. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(t • e • c)} 21:25, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep passes GNG and the Crystal ball guidelines don't apply because preparation for the event have started to take place ie matches are being set for the event and that the event is most certain to take place on April 6, 2014. If we went by the This event isn't scheduled to take place until April of 2014. then Super Bowl XLIX, Super Bowl L, Super Bowl LI, and Super Bowl LII need to be deleted also for the same logic.--Dcheagle • talk • contribs 21:47, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Dcheagle's proposal to also delete Super Bowl XLIX, Super Bowl L, Super Bowl LI, and Super Bowl LII as well. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(t • e • c)} 22:15, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I'm not proposing the deletion of the Super Bowl articles just stating the fact that if WrestleMania XXX is deleted for Crystal vios then so should they. I'm not indorsing any deletions at this time.--Dcheagle • talk • contribs 22:26, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: this event is currently being produced. It is the next event to take place with current news being reported on what will be featured. In the last week alone 2 matches and the special host of the event has been revealed. This event is going to happen. It is a current event, not a future event.--WillC 22:30, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep — Clearly passes WP:GNG. If this was going to be nominated it should have been a year ago, nomination is pointless now. STATic message me! 23:06, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Even if this event doesn't happen, which I guess is what the nom means by WP:CRYSTALBALL, the subject still passes WP:GNG.LM2000 (talk) 02:32, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Soon enough to be current.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 02:35, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Is there anyone who thinks this isn't going to happen? Anyone? Sources for so-far matches, venue, time, date; the only way this isn't being held is if something impossible happens to the Superdome. Nate • (chatter) 02:59, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Or if something happens (or is pretended to happen as a publicity stunt) to one of the athletes (like they OD on something or get shot or something), and that's never happened before... — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(t • e • c)} 12:55, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That won't matter even if it happens, which it has. The event will still go on. Owen Hart died during Over the Edge (1999) while Chris Benoit was supposed to have competed at Vengeance: Night of Champions when he killed himself. The events still happened and this event will still happen. The plane holding the entire crew, wrestlers, and anyone else will have to blow up for it to not happen. In essence, that will still make the event notable that people died in route to the show.--WillC 17:09, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Agree per Will. Do we seriously think Vince McMahon is going to go to tell the Superdome 'yeah, we're canceling this, nevermind' for wrestling's Super Bowl/FIFA World Cup equivalent? Definitely not seeing that happening and this nomination is getting to the quixotic threshold quickly. Nate • (chatter) 18:28, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It would actually be more notable if it was cancelled. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 18:32, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There's far more speculation on your part that it won't happen than on ours that it will, if you're going to use arguments like "what if someone dies". — Richard BB 18:19, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:CRYSTALBALL - "1.Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place." Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 08:06, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Blindingly obvious keep. Nominating this is one of the most ludicrous ideas I've seen. I have no idea why this wasn't a speedy keep, as it doesn't even come close to failing the crystal test. Carry on, people. — Richard BB 18:18, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
