[edit] Memoirs of Hadrian (film)

Memoirs of Hadrian (film) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Explicitly fails future film notability guidelines. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 08:44, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

• Weak keep While I agree it fails "films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should not have their own articles, unless the production itself is notable per notability guidelines. " I think the article does no harm at the moment, and will start to expand soon after release of the movie. Therefore I am not convinced that deletion at the moment is necessary.

• I'm its creator - sorry, on creation I thought the film was closer to release than it actually is. Rather than deletion, I suggest Redirect for now, back to Memoirs of Hadrian, with the material remerged back into there, then re-stub it out to Memoirs of Hadrian (film) when the film actually comes out.

• Delete Nothing to indicate this in-production film meets the notability guidelines for unreleased films. The article can be recreated when more reliable sources are available. Darkspots (talk) 13:08, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NFF as there has been no production news since 2005. I found a print source (Bob Flynn. "The last of the steely Brits", The Independent, 2007-06-01. ) that quotes Boorman (the director): At 74, he is already planning his next project, an adaptation of Marguerite Yourcenar's bestseller Memoirs of Hadrian , recreating the life of the Roman emperor. "It's a daunting prospect. The book is almost too good, but has some fascinating parallels with the present American empire," he says. The project was announced back in 2004, and there's been no recent news besides this continued intent to make the film, which is not enough. All the meager information should be placed at Memoirs of Hadrian#Film adaptation. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 18:17, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

• Delete - Geez, all these articles on films that don't even exist get a tiny bit to my nerves (even if the idea of a film on Yourcenar's book is interesting).--Aldux (talk) 22:07, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

• I agree; that's why I think WP:NFF is a good idea because having its own article gives the illusion that, yep, it's definitely gonna be a film. If it's in a "Film adaptation" section of the article of its source material, you're more aware that it's just being developed and not guaranteed, like Shantaram. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 22:09, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
