Talk:2014 Asian Games
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] WP:NOT#CBALL
Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. There is nothing useful we can say about the 2014 Asian Games, other than it's the Asian Games, and it's in 2014. We don't know dates in the year it might take place, we don't know where it's happening, and we don't know about the biding process. Remember, just because something is factual does not mean that we need include it on a Wikipedia article somewhere. To think it does is a fundamental misunderstanding of what Wikipedia is. Our readers would clearly not benefit from this article at this time, and would be better served by a redirect to Asian Games until this event comes closer. This is not deletion, and the article can come back at a more appropriate time, say 2009 or so. In the meantine, it doesn't matter how big the event might be, it's just too far away, and all we would be doing is speculating anyway. Chris cheese whine 05:19, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- No bidding process? huh, are you check the news, i wanna to add more details and the host will be annouced in April 2007, the bidding process is already on, why you say no? That is rediculous. --Aleenf1 05:27, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

- If you not involved in this article, please don't smart to redirect, crystal ball say no speculation information, so 8 years is not problem (is not far to 10 beyond). If i'm found some valuable information and i'm want to add it, revert and then redirect by you is nonsense indeed. That is valuable information and no speculative. And the bidding process can change anyway and the newest information could be occur. I won't stop you if the information just speculation, but this is true anyway. --Aleenf1 00:46, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- I refer the honorable member to the question I posed some moments ago. Chris cheese whine 01:41, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

- What is your point to redirect the page. And why 2016 Summer Olympics is take 10 years time to become current, why this 8 years is UNCOMPARABLE? I hope you can tell the reason why before revert. Should your reason is nonsense, it should be consider vandalism, and 2016 can include bidding, why this should be redirect, i ask you question now. I hope you can tell a more satisfy reason! --Aleenf1 05:01, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

- Isn't the "crystal ball" thing about speculation about the future? Detailing the current bidding process is about the present. -- User:Docu
- This seems fine to me, as is. The current information is verifiable and avoids crystal ball speculation of any sort that I can recognize. We know that there will be games, we know that there are bids out -- saying as much is hardly speculation. Luna Santin 05:23, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Redirect
In my edit summary, I incorrectly stated that the reason I was reverting User:Chriscf's redirect of this page to Asian Games was because she had performed the redirect without discussion. In my haste, I failed to notice that there had indeed been some discussion and that it is clear that consensus was not reached. Thus, the correct rationale for reverting the page redirect would have been because there was no consensus for a redirect. I apologize for my error.--DaveOinSF 02:03, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
