WP:TOOSOON. Doesn't meet NEVENT/GNG and won't unless it happens. China has cancelled all international sporting event for the year, so there's a very real possibility this event will not happen: [1]. Content is a copy of previous events; 2020 qualification criteria have not been confirmed, so also contravenes WP:OR, WP:V & WP:CRYSTAL. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 07:56, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note to closer for soft deletion: This nomination has had limited participation and falls within the standards set for lack of quorum. There are no previous AfD discussions, undeletions, or current redirects and no previous PRODs have been located. This nomination may be eligible for soft deletion at the end of its 7-day listing. --Cewbot (talk) 00:03, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Had this article been made in the early part of this year, as it would have been in previous years, this deletion discussion would never have even happened. And as it is, there is currently nothing in the news to suggest that the tournament referred to in the article isn't going to go on as planned. Therefore, there never was, nor is there now, a valid reason to remove the article. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 06:25, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree – six months ago the article would have the same policy issues it does now (OR, CRYSTAL), just even more so. Per the rationale given above, it certainly will not be going ahead as planned as China have cancelled all international sporting events. With the tournament unlikely to be relocated, cancellation seems most the most logical conclusion (but not announced yet). Without any reliable sources to confirm anything but the proposed dates and venue (and possible/likely cancellation), this fails WP:N. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 08:43, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Even though this event is still listed in the published event schedules of both the PGA Tour and the European Tour, there is strong evidence that the event will not occur as scheduled. Even if the event were to occur, specific details would likely be distinct from prior years due to the current state of the world. There is no need for this page at this time, as any information about cancellation would properly belong in WGC-HSBC Champions. BillyPilgrim5 (talk) 01:25, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Having hidden the field section (as unsourced OR) permalink, we can more easily see what content there is – scheduled dates, venue, and possible/probable cancellation (all with extremely limited coverage) – i.e. not enough to meet our guidelines for events (WP:NEVENT, WP:NSPORTSEVENT) , which is why these articles are routinely deleted or redirected to the main article. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 09:46, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to WGC-HSBC Champions. An event that likely isn't going to happen and there is minimal coverage for should be redirected to parent article. If necessary, one sentence about the "in doubt" status of the 2020 version can be added to that article. The argument that there is "nothing...to suggest that...[it] isn't going to go on as planned" is myopic, at best. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 17:17, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
