Apparently fails WP:NFF. No prejudice towards recreation when verification for commencement of shooting can be provided. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 04:07, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep Although the article cites mostly blogs and what appear to be fansites, a quick Google search turns up reliable links like this and this. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 23:40, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
It's a matter of notability more than verifiability - see NFF. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 06:59, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
I did read that page. It says, Films which have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced shooting should not have their own articles. And because I have found a couple reliable sources, I believe the article should be kept. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 12:45, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Having a database entry does not verify that shooting has begun. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 16:52, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
But it verifies that the movie is to begin shooting, and thus it technically passes NFF and WP:CRYSTAL. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 16:54, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Wrong - the guideline explicitly states that it must be verified to have begun shooting. This is because a very substantial percentage of shoots are cancelled or indefinitely postponed during pre-production. The guideline was created with the exact purpose of preventing every film that has ever been in development from having a stubby, unexpandable article. We are not the IMDb, MSN, or any other database, and therefore our needs and standards for inclusion are different. If you have any questions regarding this, I recommend referring the matter to the future films department. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 16:57, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - Technically this article does fail WP:NFF, it says "Films which have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced shooting should not have their own articles.", the two articles referenced above do not confirm shooting.--Captain-tucker (talk) 22:39, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. They're right. There's no proof that it has actually begun shooting, so it isn't a valid article and it fails WP:NFF. ~DoubleAW[c] 00:51, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete There is no relavent info in the article that is not already included in Cell (novel). Upon the commencement of shooting the article should be re-created. Blackngold29 01:16, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
