Per Wikipedia:Crystalballism. It is way too early to be creating articles for the 2022 Winter Olympics, when we are not even sure it will happen due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 02:39, 15 August 2021 (UTC) Also nominating the following for the same reason:[reply]

Keep It seems like a waste of time to delete these and have to create them again later. True, the universe may no longer exist by that time, but for the moment they very probably will occur. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 03:07, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If these were for, say, the 2024 or 2026 Winter Olympics I would support a deletion, but this is an event that should be happening relatively soon. It doesn't do any harm to leave the categories intact for the moment. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 04:09, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (as the creator of the articles). These events will happen in about 5 months, which is soon (I agree with the above comment regarding the Olympics more in future). As of now, the main article doesn't even mention the possibility of cancelling or postponing the event. The sources are there, saying this is planned, so I see no problem here. --Tone 07:38, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: per above Nitesh003 (talk) 11:29, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:CRYSTAL - "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place" Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 12:17, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
