procedural nomination—article version: Outcome of initial AFD was 'delete'; article was recreated about 3 months later by someone who might not have been involved in editing the original article. Current article content is very similar to that deleted previously with one key difference ... the current version contains an IMDB link that the first lacked, which indicates the film is in production. If that were missing, I would have deleted this speedily as improper re-creation. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:05, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak keep, it seems a couple sources do exist. I added one, and here are two more. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 01:27, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. for now. Notability is limited in reliable sources but it will likely be written about when the film is eventually shown and will get reception and critical sources as that time. I found one other article where the movie was not just mentioned in passing http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_272617550.shtml but I am unsure whether this source counts as being reliable. Other news articles from a quick google search were either primary sources or mentioned the movie in passing. NrDg (talk • contribs) 01:34, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep since it does seem to actually be in production and such a large economic incentive is notable (even more so if it never airs :P). I've ripped out the plot, though, cause it appears to be lifted straight from IMDB. Found another source [1] and added the TV.com link which lists the actual premiere date.

  • LOL, I didn't even check that. :P Collectonian (talk) 02:37, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep If it's good enough for the cryogenically frozen head of Walt Disney, it's good enough for me. Mykej (talk) 02:16, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep This is a real movie, just because it isn't released yet, doesn't mean it should be deleted. Tavix (talk) 02:39, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Neutral. Crystalballing, but there are some sources for a stub and as it starts to exist, we can have an article here.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 04:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Once it airs it can have a page. Until then we violate crystal ball. It might never air... actors die on set, movies suck and are never released or aired, funding can be pulled, there can be writer strikes... I could buy a redirect to List of Disney live-action films until it is released. GtstrickyTalk or C 15:56, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment—I think the current prevailing notion is that films that have entered production and are documented to have done so are eligible for retention. The reasoning behind this is $$$; once production starts, you've committed money and people and if it flops or terminates, there are significant repercussions for studios (e.g. need to write off un-recovered outlays, maybe in the millions of $$$) and careers (e.g. missed better roles). --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 20:07, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
