Television in 2020 is still uncertain, let alone events two years out. This page listing events and shows far into the future, all of which are announcements and haven't begun production, certainly fails WP:CRYSTAL. -- Wikipedical (talk) 18:48, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also- "Do we also need to delete 2021 in American television?" No, because many of those shows and events are already in production, whereas this page is solely about announcements. -- Wikipedical (talk) 18:48, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP Four of the five things listed have their own articles. 2022 Winter Olympics, Super Bowl LVI, House of the Dragon, 2022 FIFA World Cup A list article is valid if it aids in navigation linking to related things. Dream Focus 20:50, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The only explicit television series you just mentioned, House of the Dragon, actually does not have its own article – it's a redirect because the series has not entered production yet. The 94th Academy Awards also doesn't have its own article – precisely because of WP:CRYSTAL. I'm not against this page ever existing, but at the moment it is way too early to create a television page for 2022. There has to be a line somewhere. The precedent should be that a year should be created once new series have entered production. It's not feasible to create pages just because of announcements, otherwise we could have 2023 in American television and beyond. -- Wikipedical (talk) 20:59, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - It doesn't have to be a television series, anything on television of importance will be listed. Whether you have the article now or wait and create it later on makes no sense. Anyone interested in the information will find it here, and those who aren't can just ignore it. The encyclopedia isn't running out of space. This page has gotten over 10 thousand views in the last 90 days. Dream Focus 23:43, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - You didn't address my response. There are no 2022 television series that have entered production yet. And page views don't matter if the article fails policy. -- Wikipedical (talk) 15:18, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      - @Wikipedical: I think they did, It doesn't have to be a television series, anything on television of importance will be listed. By your interpretation of policy, shouldn't the page be allowed to exist by virtuue of 2022 Winter Olympics and Super Bowl LVI; Both can be argued to be "in production". ~Kvng (talk) 14:05, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        It cannot be argued those two 2022 sports events are in television production, which means filming has begun. They are both in pre-production. The 2021 Super Bowl, Olympic Games, and Academy Awards haven't begun production either! But 2021’s article at least features television series that have begun being made. The 2022 article solely lists upcoming events far in the future, which is exactly the spirit of what WP:CRYSTAL disallows. -- Wikipedical (talk) 15:59, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Way WP:TOOSOON and WP:CHILL. I don't care that it's gotten multiple hits since March, it has four known events already explained in their articles, and a GoT spin-off that may not air for sure because of the last season being a PR/writing disaster (and literally the source throws off "My guess is sometime in 2022", and going by how HBO is under AT&T right now, that is definitely a CRYSTAL and that exec might not make it to 2022!). I'm getting tired of the "20xx in American television" articles being created way too early; a hard cap preventing creation until at least April the year before has to be enforced because the WP:CRYSTAL here is beyond ridiculous. See my rationale for last year's nom for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2022 in film (2nd nomination); as we know now, an actor's possible death won't be the only thing stopping media from going forward.

Strong Delete 2022 is two years away, [WP:TOOSOON]] and then some.TH1980 (talk) 03:35, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: This is way WP:TOOSOON. — YoungForever^(talk) 21:52, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:TOOSOON, especially given the current pandemic that seems to be getting worse in the U.S. What will happen later this year is still doubtful. What will happen in 2022 is even less known. --AussieLegend (✉) 02:57, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:TOOSOON, per AussieLegend et al. Normally, I'm a big advocate of future X in 2023 articles, but not now. The world is upside down, Bearian (talk) 16:48, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Way too soon. Bring this back in mid-2021 when it’s not so far in the future. Eternal Shadow Talk 20:37, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
