[edit] Ender's Game (film)

Ender's Game (film) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This film has been talked about for many, many years now with no sign of being made. The official site has not been updated in two years, and there has been no news in that time. We are an encyclopedia, not a crystal ball, we should not have an article on every book/game/comic that might conceivably be made into a film at some point in the future. This film has not been green-lit and is not in production, it should also not be on Wikipedia. Rje 17:18, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

• Merge and Redirect - to the entry about the novel. There is already a little data there about the development (or lack thereof) of the film. If any other useful data from this article can be placed there, a redirect to the two or three paragraphs should be enough until the film production process is restarted (if ever). ◄Zahakiel► 17:26, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. I keep a subpage that collects citations of upcoming films, so I've dumped the useful links there. The film article can be re-created when film actually enters production. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 17:35, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete or Merge as suggest by ◄Zahakiel. "Wikipedia is not a crystal ball" and being in development hell is certainly not making the project notable. HagenUK 20:20, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

• Keep or Redirect The very fact that this film has been talked about means that some coverage of this information is appropriate, since well, Ender's Game and OSC are clearly notable subjects. Whether it is as part of the Ender's Game novel or just on its own doesn't mean much. For now. FrozenPurpleCube 05:49, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - according to the Ender's Game page here and the imdb link ([1]) the movie is now "in production". I do think the film page probably needs an update though shas 15:42, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
• Merge relevant info into Ender's Game - film has been "in production" for years with nothing to show for it. TheRealFennShysa 15:51, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
• merge - in fact, the film article only had 2 or 3 sentences and a couple footnotes that weren't already in the book's article, so I was bold and did it myself. WP:CRYSTAL is great, but there didn't seem to be any special information in this article in the first place. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 01:16, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
