[edit] Resident Evil 4 (film)

Resident Evil 4 (film) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This is the third time it's up for nomination, this page is a waste of time and can't be cleaned up because there is nothing to clean it up with. None of the references are reputable. There is no page at IMDb about this movie, Jensen Ackles' management has released a statement saying he has never been contacted about this movie. There is a photo of Ali Larter from the previous movie, that has nothing to do with this one Firelement85 07:10, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:NOR and Wikipedia is not a fan site. Highly speculative article about about non-existent movie. Filming hasn't even begun yet. Re-create when reliable sources are available and the article is able to contribute something of value to Wikipedia. MartinDK 10:02, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NOT#CBALL.SkierRMH 10:11, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, WP:NOT a crystal ball, unverifiable, WP:OR and please protect until the studio confirms the film is going to be produce. --Terence Ong _{(C | R)} 14:11, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. For awhile there were reports that RE4 was being made at the same time as RE3, but if this has turned out not to be the case, then this falls under the Crystal Ball rule. The article can be recreated if and when production of RE4 is officially announced. If such a production was planned but has been cancelled, that can be mentioned in either the article for RE3 or the overall RE franchise article. 23skidoo 14:48, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Yet another article about a non-existent film.--Folantin 15:09, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been added to the list of CVG deletions. PresN 16:27, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep There are many other pages about upcoming films, this one is no different. Production of the film has been announced and is cited in the article. --Pinkkeith 16:45, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

• Comment This film has been "upcoming" for more than a year now and still there is no confirmation from the studio. Production may have been anounced but this page does not cite it at all, the first reference states the name but they also state that Jensen Ackles is in talks for the lead role which this article says has never happened, it also says that the title is in no way confirmed to be "Afterlife", that may yet be the name of the third film. The link to where Ali Later says the film is in preproduction leads to a homepage on Resident Evil but I have been unable to find anywhere on the site where she mentions this film. Some of the other links also lead to no where or repeat another link. The references are total speculation. Firelement85 03:15, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete and salt the earth per Terence: quit crystal-balling. Moreschi 19:45, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Right now, it's nothing more than speculation. Once filming starts, this will be a 'keepable' article because it will actually describe something that is sure of happening. Spinach Dip 20:47, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Pinkkeith.--Notth 00:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep because of references on the page suggesting that the film is planned. --164.107.92.120 03:10, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. The "references" almost all lead to hearsay, rumour, and speculation. This article can easily be recreated when the film is actually, you know, announced. — Haeleth Talk 10:41, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete There has been no official announcement from the studio, and none of the sources are trustworthy trade publications. Jay32183 22:27, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep IGN has confirmed both name and that it's coming [1]. I've updated the first citation with the one from IGN. Havok (T/C/e/c) 09:59, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

• Comment That article is a year old and the heading is

Resident Evil: Afterlife Coming

Third film in game-based series shuffles one step closer.

This wiki article is about the fourth film this has been a major problem with the sequals as the third film may yet be titled Afterlife instead of Extinction, the reference is no more useful than any of the others. Firelement85 10:44, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Delete per nom. TJ Spyke 23:34, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete WP is not a crystal ball Killerhun00 23:56, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete until a genuinely Reliable Source (not a movie rumor site) reports that at least a hundred people have sworn under oath that filming has actually begun, with a director, and a cast, and a script. Fan-1967 00:00, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and protect per many above. Markovich292 22:17, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
