[edit] 2010 Formula One season

Wikipedia isn't a crystal ball..while the 2010 season will almost certainly happen, nothing can be said about it that isn't wild speculation/original research GrahameS 14:56, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. As the 2028 U.S. presidential election and 2032 Summer Olympics are not considered appropriate article topics because nothing can be said about them that is verifiable and not original research (see "crystal ball" link above) is direct criteria why such articles should not be written this far in advance, so to does this criterion hold for a racing season four years from now. --CPAScott 15:56, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as crystal balling. It can be recreated in a couple years. BoojiBoy 20:38, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. We don't have similar articles for Nextel Cup or the Indy Racing League. Re-create in 2008 or so. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 22:16, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_crystal_ball, its a bit too early to forecast the 2010 season, especially considering how much the FIA likes to change up things.-- danntm ^T _C 00:29, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep if the Bridgestone fact in the article is true, otherwise delete. The Bridgestone fact excludes it from the crystal ball criterion. -- Koffieyahoo 02:09, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Probably there is nothing to tell about the 2028 presidential election and 2032 Olympics, but in F1 there are already discussion for next years (long term contracts). So if there are interesting news about future season, let keep it. But I think we need some experts to give opinion (or to add relevant content to article). Cate 14:51, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete - The tire fact is true, but is on the 2008 site, since the agreement starts in that year. The 2009 article exists, but with good reason as the Formula One Management has made announcements about 2009. I think that until they make news specific to 2010 (which could be next summer?) we probably don't need this one yet. --Brian G (Talk) 23:40, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Comment we have 2024 Summer Olympics, is F1 not doing anything 4 years ahead while the olympics are doing it 18 years ahead? The issue of deleting is not that important, because we will have this article sometime (assuming that F1, WP, the earth still exist); but those who believe that AfD's have precedent value can hang on to this one and speedy the recreation of the article for all eternity.

• Delete Unlike nearer F1 years or other future sporting events there just isn't much to say about this one yet - as evidenced by the lack of content. I can't remember any announcements relating to 2010 having come out yet. If anyone's got something solid then fine, but I don't think there will be for a little while yet. --4u1e 07:06, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Besides the Bridgestone fact, article could include Grands Prix, teams and drivers that have contracts that go as far as 2010 and are thus semi-confirmed. The new engine development freeze was supposed to last until the end of the 2010 season, but it was changed to 2007-2009. This shows that there are rule changes made by FIA that go as far as 2010, and these can be published at any time. The article is not crystal balling and might prove useful.
