@MCC214: Oppose: This was discussed before and is fine where the Nio and PTS articles are created earlier because those basins "never end". Plus, it's useless to do this when the year is going to end in several days. Typhoon2013 (talk) 10:46, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. My read of WP:CRYSTAL, specifically point 1, suggests that this is an event which is "notable and almost certain to take place". Per the article, the season begins in just under a week, and even if there were to be no typhoons at all in that timespan, that's probably a level of notability there as well.

Keep - I find it very strange that an editor whose only contributions thus far are to WP:AFD, is nominating the 2018 PTS for deletion and citing WP:Crystal Ball without elaborating further. Regardless, Pacific typhoons cause a lot of deaths and damages each season to multiple nations which makes them as noteworthy as Atlantic hurricanes imo.Jason Rees (talk) 14:00, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as an event (series of events?) certain to occur.--Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 14:46, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Not all future events are crystall ball, only those with very scarce source. But this one has reliable sources and enough coverage to meet WP:GNG. That aside the nomination seems suspicious as the only other edits of the nom is creating another AfD of related topic in November. –Ammarpad (talk) 15:41, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
