[edit] Boubafield

Boubafield (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

There's ... nothing to say about this movie. Essentially admits it's crystallish--no directors, no writers, no actors. Not even sure this movie is real either--a grand total of 3 ghits and 1 Yahoo hit. Blueboy96 00:25, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete for lack of sources; could be a hoax may not be a hoax, but nothing proves that it even exists. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 00:34, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
  • It's not a hoax, it's just a new article, more information will surely become available soon, its been up for a minutes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikeygray1 (talk • contribs) 01:10, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete fails WP:CRYSTAL; no sources and not enough information. Once more info and refs are available, you can recreate this article. jon (blab) 01:24, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. There's absolutely no evidence that this is anything but a hook for a couple of short videos put on Myspace by a guy calling himself Bouba. Deor (talk) 01:32, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, but not speedy. Fails WP:CRYSTAL. 69.140.152.55 (talk) 02:33, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:CRYSTAL and WP:N -- articles based on films that are only familiar via Myspace and YouTube are major question marks. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 02:57, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, as far as I can tell it's just a trailer, not an actual film. I agree with Deor. --Pixelface (talk) 05:24, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

It is an actual film, it's probably still shooting though, only a trailer has been released so far, i'm sure more information will be updated soon. an IMDB page is proccessing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikeygray1 (talk • contribs) 10:29, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

IMDB is not a reliable source for our purposes. We haven't been able to find any newspaper coverage, or any media coverage whatsoever about this film. Blueboy96 10:35, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete and don't recreate, this fails guidelines on future films and notability. The Dominator (talk) 21:26, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep This is a film in production. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikeygray1 (talk • contribs) 22:51, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Mikeygray1, being a "film in production" is actually more a reason to delete than to keep as policies say to only create articles that are sure to be made. That said, I doubt this film is notable. The Dominator (talk) 14:17, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
      • What do you mean? It's being filmed and released at a film festival. Theres far more detail on this film that some of the "future film" articles on this website 172.159.230.87 (talk) 15:54, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
        • Assuming you're the same user; I did a Google search and what comes up is Wikipedia and Myspace which isn't even close to being a reliable source. Even if this film does get made then it's still not notable. If it is released and by some chance becomes a hit and is covered in reliable sources, feel free to recreate. None of the actors even have Wikipedia pages or even IMDb pages. The Dominator (talk) 16:26, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
          • same user as who? the actors don't have wikipedia pages because when the directors page was put up it was deleted? what would be the point? 172.159.230.87 (talk) 16:48, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
            • Same user as Mikeygray1, and why do you think the director's page was deleted? The Dominator (talk) 17:19, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. With respect to the film and its director, it's basically utterly made-up. Until it actually exists, and it gets some notability in independent, reliable sources it just doesn't belong here. • Anakin (talk) 00:26, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
  • KEEPWhat makes you so sure its made up? You actually don't have a clue to be honest Mikeygray1 (talk) 12:22, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
    Well you are right of course, I don't have a clue what the real status of the film is. But that's a problem in itself. Wikipedia articles are supposed to be verifiable, and that policy is pretty strict. It says, "If no reliable, third-party sources can be found for an article topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it". The only sources given at the moment are MySpace and YouTube. The article is based entirely on self-published sources and original research. • Anakin (talk) 22:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
