It is
too soon to be creating the article. Most of the content is duplicated from the 2020 article. Major revisions to the sporting and technical regulations are expected for 2021 which would be cause to create this article to be created in advance, but as per this source, those regulations are unlikely to be published until October 2019.

- Delete per nom, at this stage there is insufficent information to warrant an article for a season which won't start for almost 2 years. Normally I would say Draftifiy, however a draft of this already exists (here) from which this eintire article appears to be copied from anyway. As Mclarenfan17 points out details of the 2021 season are due to be released in October [1] and the article can be moved from draft to mainspace then or earlier if a significant announcement is made but at this stage it is simply to early.

- Comment: there is already a draft version at Draft:2021 Formula One World Championship. It appears that most of the article has been lifted from that page. Mclarenfan17 (talk) 09:31, 8 May 2019 (UTC)]

- Delete Looking at past seasons, it always seems to be typical that this comes up every season that a season wants to be deleted. For me this is properly a case of talk) 10:07, 8 May 2019 (UTC)]
- Delete per Matt 294069. In fact there was a time when someone made F1 season articles 6-7 years ahead of time and a bunch of these articles were deleted at AFD per WP:TOOSOON....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 13:19, 8 May 2019 (UTC)]

- Delete Just to soon for this. We already have a WP:SALT so that we can focus on the draft and assure that that's the one which gets published when time is proper to do so.Tvx1 22:21, 8 May 2019 (UTC)]
- Comment: ironically, whoever created this article seems to have copy-pasted content from the 2021 draft ... but didn't carry over the (few) 2021-specific details in it. Mclarenfan17 (talk) 01:09, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
- Keep See WP:PRESERVE, we prefer such non-destructive choices. As for the argument that there's nothing to say about 2021, this is evidently false as there is lots of planning and publicity about this – see What's at stake in F1's crucial 2021 rules meeting..., for example. Andrew D. (talk) 10:32, 9 May 2019 (UTC)]
- There's speculation and discussion about what they want for 2021, but nothing specific has been decided, let alone announced. Timeframe alone is not justification to have such an article. I can easily link
toof a similar AFD which resulted in delete in a similar timeframe, where you were ironically the only one supporting to keep it based on the same flawed arguments as here.Tvx1 12:53, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
- That article – 2020_Formula_One_World_Championship – was not deleted and is still in mainspace. So, the precedent is clear – we keep such articles. Andrew D. (talk) 14:50, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
- @WP:OTHERSTUFF means that you can't argue that the 2020 article existing means the 2021 article must exist too. SSSB (talk) 16:00, 9 May 2019 (UTC)]
- No,you’re wrong. That article was actually deleted. It was recreated much later when 2020 specific information was announced. Also, there was another AFD dealing with the article you mentioned which resulted in it being deleted at that time. Moreover November 2017 is not two years away from January 2019.Tvx1 22:37, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

- Keep Information about it mentioned in plenty of places as evident in the references in the article. And the ESPN article [1] has a lot to say about it. Also no sense deleting an article only to recreate it later on. This isn't some planned film that might not get made, this is something which is guaranteed to happen so not a crystal ball situation.

- Delete as too soon, only information is one driver has a contract, as do some venues. When the interesting, expected car changes get announced and finalised, that would be content worth having. Right now, no extraordinary, or at all interesting, information. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:23, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
