Way too soon, and the main qualification article (for all associations) does not even exist yet (it is a redirect to 2022 FIFA World Cup so why have a specific one for Asian part). Also all information are pure speculation without source. I dont think it is even worth having as redirect as it is not a likely search.Qed237 (talk) 10:36, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to 2022 FIFA World Cup Generally continental qualification articles redirect to the main qualification article until we have concrete information. However, that's a redirect to the main World Cup article at this point, so this should be too. Smartyllama (talk) 14:05, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point, but I dont see a good reason to keep a page as a redirect when the "real target" itself at this stage is a redirect. If that is the case, editors could just create a lot of these sub-sub articles and just redirect to the big main tournament. It is just WP:TOOSOON. Qed237 (talk) 16:10, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Per WP:TOOSOON. It can be undeleted for improvement/correction when the tournament regulations are published. — Jkudlick ⚓ t ⚓ c ⚓ s 00:31, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - per nom. This is an obvious case of WP:TOOSOON. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:17, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - clearly too soon. See this as an implausible search term so no need to redirect. Fenix down (talk) 17:02, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - far too soon. GiantSnowman 20:27, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to 2022 FIFA World Cup per Smartyllama's reasoning, although would also be okay with a Delete Per WP:TOOSOON. Inter&anthro (talk) 17:52, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
