This article is a case of
WP:TOOSOON. There is no official bid as yet, we don't if any such bid might be by England alone or UK-wide and the article is based entirely on newspaper speculation regarding "secret talks" and quoting some views on a hypothetical bid. It has also been a magnet for
WP:OR and
WP:SYNTH, with people creating lists of potential venues based on combining current ground capacities with FIFA requirements. An article is only justified if / when an official bid is announced.

Delete, because we don't know what kind of bid would be made (England alone, or jointly with neighbouring countries), if any.
WP:CRYSTAL.

Delete - far too speculative.

Delete - per above. Far too soon and speculative, although the content would make a good starting point if the bid does go anywhere. Nzd(talk) 10:05, 20 June 2018 (UTC)reply
Delete - Wikipedia is not a crystal ball.

Delete it's a hypothetical bid, not officially announced, and no information is really known about it, including whether it would be just England or the entire UK. Even the sources used are mostly just speculating on what a UK bid would look like and do not really have any confirmed information. Article can be re-created when an official bid is announced and more information is available.

Delete. This is far too soon. The idea at the moment is more or less hypothetical and there is not enough reliable information to justify an article at this stage. The
2030 FIFA World Cup article give the topic the appropriate level of coverage at this time.

Delete The first sentence contains the word "possible". That alone is speculation. Everything else follows from that.
