Prod removed without comment, and WP:CRYSTAL. Parker and Stone are notable, but an hypothetical and future movie without sources is not. — Coren (talk) 04:29, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

I've given an external link (and working on getting more). Is that good enough?--Swellman 04:37, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep - at least there are reliable sources available, unlike many of these type of upcoming film articles. Crazysuit 04:44, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment, it's to be noted that the two external links specify that not even a start of production date is estimated, and no other information is available beyond "men in rubber suits". — Coren (talk) 04:55, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Shows up at Yahoo movies as having been announced, and there does appear to be a source on the page ⇒ SWATJester Denny Crane. 04:58, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep I was about to send it here since I prodded it first, but it's not so much a crystal ball if you do some searching around. Kwsn(Ni!) 12:28, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
I've given some external links and have added some more info. The movie is not speculation. It has been confirmed. I say keep it. It'll just be re-created later on, anyway.--Swellman 20:47, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. It is coming in 2009? This being Hollywood, no, it's pure crystal-ballism until filming actually begins and even then it's not certain. --Calton | Talk 22:58, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep So just because the release date might change, the article deserves to be deleted? I don't think so. I've read through wikipedia's deletion policy and I don't believe this article violates any of the policies listed.--Swellman 04:48, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
  • It's not a question of "changing the release date", it's a question of whether it will be released at all. And you can't provide the slightest assurance of that. --Calton | Talk 08:29, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Trey Parker and Matt Stone are contracted to make the film. The script has been written. And most important of all, they have distributors. I would understand how you would want it deleted if it were still speculation, but they have a contract and they have film distributors. That pretty much confirms that the film WILL be released. Take a look at the list of upcoming films.[[1]] Some of them have less sources and less information about them than this film does Yet they haven't been deleted. Therefore, neither should this one. Because it's NOT speculation. It's been contracted and has distributors. And I've given external links confirming this information.--Swellman 15:32, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I'm an inclusionist by nature but I've read the links (the Yahoo link has gone belly up 404, by the way) and what I get from them is that 1) a script has been written and 2) Parker and Stone would make the film with rubber suits. That's about it. Delete the article, as it will get re-created if the film ever materializes. Captain Infinity 22:05, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
