[edit] Green Lantern Movie: 2008
Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. No citation whatsoever. Erik (talk/contrib) @ 18:00, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: To be fair, there is one citation about Jack Black playing the Green Lantern, but this rumor doesn't seem to have panned out. There is no IMDb page for this film, which is a pretty much done-for sign for a film article like this. Seems to be fancruft otherwise, so delete. --Erik (talk/contrib) @ 18:05, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- As I mentioned on the articles talk page, there is no proof that it is an actual movie, and the storyline description looks fake and made up. So I say delete MasterGreenLantern 18:47, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete The movie has been in development hell for almost 10 years, with several script drafts floating around. Whether or not the fanboy-esque treatment in the article corresponds to one of them won't be answered. Purely speculative crystalballery at this point. Caknuck 18:54, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - Clearly a fake. There is no evidence of this on www.imdb.com. This should have been up for Speedy Delete. Debaser23 19:36, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Speedy delete fancruft. Even if there was a film, it's clearly in development hell. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 19:39, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Could you provide a link to Wikipedia policy on this so-called fancruft? I guess the fans have overstayed their welcome here, but I am interested in knowing the how or the why. Thank you. Valters 20:51, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- I laugh whole heartedly with a loud DELETE, as I am following the non extistent future of this character in the film world, and there has been nothing mentioned (minus Jack Black's rediculous "I'm going to be GL" rant). Bignole 19:56, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Lost all credibility with the Jack Black connection, and the lack of any reputable sources indicating such a film is in production or has even been announced places this in to the Crystal Ball column. This can always be recreated (but correctly titled next time) if and when such a film is actually announced. 23skidoo 19:59, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - At least needs sources about current development. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 20:11, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. TSO1D 21:07, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, per nom, and because that level of POV biased cruft fiction writing should be eliminated from any wiki anywhere. Ever. ThuranX 21:39, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

- Delete. Someone's been spamming Green Lantern forums, other GL entries on Wikipedia, and various other sites with this "Robert Taggett" hoax. As people debunked the claims that he was a character from an old comic book story, it shifted to the claim that he would be in an upcoming movie. This article looks like it was based on the one and only post at greenlanternmovie2008.blogspot.com (I'm deliberately not linking to it), which was spammed to a comment on my own site a week or two ago.
