[edit] Leroy & Stitch

Here is a VFD that im not so certain about and im going to nominate it Wikipedia is not a Crystal Ball but it will come out next year and im not sure if that rule goes to this movie. I may accept a Merge to Lilo & Stitch or for me so far Weak Delete and let the users decide its fate. --Aranda56 23:58, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

• No vote. As it been announced officially? If so, then crystal ball doesn't apply. I don't know enough about the subject to give an informed vote. I do know some L&S sequel just came out on home video. 23skidoo 01:45, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, as a review on amazon.com of L&S2 indicates that that DVD has a preview for this film. That sounds official enough for me. But maybe we should set a guideline for when it's appropriate to post a page about a film that hasn't come out yet. When the studio announces it? When it has an IMDB page (this film does not)? | Keithlaw 02:06, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Thats Lilo and Stitch 2 which came out this year not Leroy and Stitch --Aranda56 02:13, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Please re-read my comment. The L&S2 DVD has a preview for Leroy & Stitch. I would say that that's official enough to merit at least a stub here. | Keithlaw 02:24, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. First of all, there's a link on the page for a preview of the movie. The page actually has pictures from the trailer. The Amazon review page for Lilo & Stitch 2' is linked because it makes reference to the trailer which is a part of the Lilo & Stitch 2 DVD. As for that crystal ball claim, that's what the future film tag on the top of the page is for. I do agree that we should set guidelines about when to add a page about a film, if at all. --Jtalledo (talk) 02:22, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment I would allow an article on a future movie as soon as there's a confirmed cast and crew, a known storyline and as soon as it started filming. Anything in pre-production can still fall apart. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:54, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Comment If anyone's interested in this issue, it would be a good idea to check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Films. There doesn't seem to be any proposed criteria in place about inclusion of films in various stages of the production cycle. --Jtalledo (talk) 13:46, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

• Don't Delete - It seems to me that making an announcement about the film on the Lilo & Stitch 2 DVD, showing a trailor, and describing a plot is enough to warrant an entry about the film. Even if the project is scrubbed or delayed, the very mention of the plot that might have been establishes continuity as the conclusion of the Lilo & Stitch series. Besides (and I know this isn't the best reason given) nearly every Lilo & Stitch-related article in Wikipedia now makes a referance to this movie. The disclaimer at the top of the article makes it clear enough to any reader that the information provided is not from first-hand experiance but rather from a series of trailors and press releases until the movie debuts. -- Zytron 03:55, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
