Created WP:TOOSOON as referendum has still not formally been called. Prod removed with a WP:CRYSTAL violating argument that "This referendum will happen as it needs happen". Happy to have the article restored if/when the vote is formally agreed. Number 5 7 16:32, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Yeah, that was a bad rationale to remove a prod; I'm never going to stop shaking my head at the people who think that they get gold stars on their foreheads for "scooping" Wikipedia on a new article. Obvious violations of CRYSTAL and TOO SOON are obvious. Nha Trang ^Allons! 17:44, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Do Not Delete: WP:CRYSTAL "almost certain to take place" - this referendum will take place. There several references that support this fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:6:11B3:454:44B:32D9:7F23:975 (talk) 19:31, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Do Not Delete: This issue separated Macedonia from Europe and prevented it being an oridinary european state. It needs a referendum. There will be a referendum. All but one party supports it. Media reports are available. Government announced the referendum, parliament voted for the referendum twice. Only SEC/DIK fails to do what it is supposed to do currently. It is a matter of weeks only. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.110.97.60 (talk) 17:55, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, this appears to be WP:TOOSOON, some of the information from this article could be used to expand appropriate sections of Macedonia naming dispute with a breakout article occurring when the referendum actually happens. Coolabahapple (talk) 10:28, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Do Not Delete: There is no reason for that. Jingiby (talk) 14:24, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Do Not Delete: I would be inclined not to delete it because a tentative date for it has been announced, and there is great deal of discussion around it. Dapiks (talk) 14:54, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Maybe change the title to Proposed Macedonian constitutional referendum, 2018 as even if it does not happen the fact that a referendum was planned is notable Lyndaship (talk) 15:06, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
