Keep. I added a source for the host, although there are a number of other sources on the bidding (there was only one bidder), confirming the host, citing various people as being excited, etc. There is not much that I can find beyond the bidding procedure and some qualification information, meaning that the article would remain a stub for now, but a useful stub nevertheless.

Keep with thanks for the addition of a source. For an event only three years away, preparations will probably be already underway or will be soon. Insisting that the article be deleted now and recreated (when? soon, certainly) is just a bit much. The article can stay a stub for now without doing anybody any harm.
