If it's too soon, then why is there articles for other world championships in 2026. You can't just pick and choose. They either all get deleted or they all exist. Also, DON'T DELETE IT! If you get your own way, make it a draft. Don't make my time making the article a waste. ILoveSport2006 (talk) 11:16, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2026 FIFA World Cup, 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup, 2026 Women's FIH Hockey World Cup and 2026 Men's FIH Hockey World Cup are some of the numerous tournaments that will be in 2026 that have articles (there are many more notables World and European championships in 2026 also). As I have already mentioned, you can't just pick and choose. ILoveSport2006 (talk) 11:48, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, you are comparing events of completely different notability levels. Svartner (talk) 17:33, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Men's World Floorball Championship as an alternatives to deletion - This appears to be rather WP:TOOSOON, but I've no prejudice towards recreation once actual information begins to appear in reliable sources. The existence of other stuff is not a persuasive argument. -Ljleppan (talk) 10:09, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep That's enough information for an article. ILoveSport2006 (talk) 11:36, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since Finnish is presumably not easily approachable for most contributors, here's a brief summary of the sourcing as of 15 January 2024: IFF and Suomen Salibandyliitto (Finnish Floorball Association) are rather obviously not independent. Both STT references are press releases written by Suomen Salibandyliitto, and thus also not independent. The Etelä-Suomen Sanomat story is attributed to STT (thus almost certainly based on a non-independent press release) and consists of next-to-no useful content: Two sentences about how multiple floorball events will be organized in the coming years, two non-independent quotes, and then three sentences of background about older events. Not useful for notability purposes. The tampere.fi reference is a press release from the city where several of the events will take place, I don't view this as useful for notability purposes. The final reference, from Ilta-Sanomat, appears to also be a simple regurgitation of the Salibandyliitto press release, starting with Two floorball world caps will be played in Finland on consecutive years, Salibandyliitto announces.. It's a short story discussing multiple events, and there's no independent analysis or content beyond just the trivial basic facts they presumably lifted from the press release.

In total, we have a bunch of press releases from non-independent parties, and then two barebones news stories that simply regurgitate said press releases without any independent content. Ljleppan (talk) 09:07, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete WP:TOOSOON and the event is way less notable than event like 2026 FIFA World Cup, 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup and 2026 Winter Olympics for example. 11:57, 11 January 2024 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:CB14:11E1:400:CD1A:F55A:AEB1:5C5 (talk)
