@Arthur Rubin: This is my reasoning for past tense: There is a point when a person or entity schedules an event. When they are in the near future or "almost certain" to occur, it may be reasonable to assume that they remain scheduled until the event occurs. But for ones that are scheduled far into the future, it is not reasonable to make the same assumption. With far off events, there is a greater possibility that they will be cancelled or rescheduled. Without constant updating on sources, we cannot know if/when rescheduling/cancellation may happen. While we know that the event scheduling occurred at a particluar point, assuming that the established scheduling persists indefinitely is inconsistent with wp:crystal. In this case, because it is not "almost certain to take place", it is more appropriate to use the past tense. The past tense indicates the fact that the event was scheduled, whereas present tense speculates that the scheduling has not changed. It is like an article existing for the 2018 and 2020 Olympic Games, but not for the 3018 or 3020 ones. B E C K Y S A Y L E S 19:42, 12 January 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
