WP:CRYSTALBALL. No major candidate has declared for the Presidency, all this article contains in speculation about who might run in 2028. Esolo5002 (talk) 23:28, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Its also too early for one in my opinion. The 2024 election isnt even over and we already have a 2028 article that is uneccesary at the moment. Snowboi (talk) 02:38, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete for the same reasons as at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2028 Democratic Party presidential primaries. Elli (talk | contribs) 10:06, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Too soon, seems like someone is trying to be first to create the articles. "Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation, rumors, or presumptions. Wikipedia does not predict the future." Just one line in several lengthy paragraphs about Ron deSantis is actually about 2028. AusLondonder (talk) 22:34, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete it's WP:SPECUALTION for now, the page can be recreated once there's relevant information. Given how much of it is speculation, I don't really see draftification as an option Shaws username . talk . 22:38, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete 2028 elections pages shouldn't be made until the 2024 election has actually happened. The article is pure speculation at this stage without any real content to go alongside it. TheFellaVB (talk) 23:55, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete clearly WP:TOOSOON. SportingFlyer T·C 16:45, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. and others. Obviously WP:TOOSOON. Sal2100 (talk) 19:50, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. All opposition to Joe Biden and Donald Trump, barring something truly insane, will be mathematically eliminated on or before March 19. We're about to have our presumptive nominees; I don't see any harm in keeping this or the 2028 Republican Party presidential primaries pages up. WorldMappings (talk) 02:57, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We are not even finished with the 2024 election season though, and there is not even a 2028 general election page up, so in my opinion, it makes 0 sense to have both the Republican and Democratic primary pages up before the general election page even exists. Snowboi (talk) 18:44, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment — The article now contains further speculation with the addition of significantly more candidates, which was not my intention. I initially included candidates who were largely believed to be candidates in 2028, not candidates who were mentioned in one article or two as a candidate. The current article is far more conjectural than I conceived. I am willing to support this nomination, but I believe there is redemption here. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 21:27, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Delete This is a clear-cut case of WP:TOOSOON. TH1980 (talk) 02:36, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Wait until at least the 2024 election is over. Scu ba (talk) 06:41, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• If we are to delete this page, could we at least make it a draft page? There are a lot of useful references, etc here that I don't think should be wasted. WorldMappings (talk) 19:46, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I object to this position. One-off sources do not count as legitimate potential candidacies. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 20:06, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Delete per the above, it's pretty much WP:SNOW at this point. Ben Azura (talk) 01:35, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom + WP:TOOSOON --Devokewater|(tαlk) 14:57, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per the above without prejudice to draftification. Based on past cycles sources should start to appear soon after the 2024 election is complete in or before early 2025. Eluchil404 (talk) 02:15, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
