[edit] Nottingham (film)

Nottingham (film) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Nottingham is a project first announced back in January 2007; production was delayed because of the writers' strike -- see my userfied version at User:Erik/Nottingham (film). There is no guarantee that production will pick up, and per the notability guidelines for future films, a stand-alone article is not yet warranted. It is already briefly listed at List of films and television series featuring Robin Hood. When production begins, the article can be revived. (Current article was proposed for deletion, but it was challenged.) Erik (talk • contrib) - 20:59, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

• Neutral I'm unsure about the level of WP:CRYSTAL in this one. Specifically, the ELs both have a specific release date (November 2009), but is it enough? JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 00:40, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

• The release date is unfortunately not enough. There have been numerous projects that have been set for a year, a month, and even a specific day. The date does not guarantee that the studio will be able to get the resources together to make the film. WP:CRYSTAL doesn't quite apply here -- there is verifiable coverage, but per WP:NFF, it doesn't yet belong in a stand-alone article. The process at the future films department suggests different ways to handle the coverage, depending on how much there is. There are some large merges, such as Shantaram (film), Logan's Run (2010 film), Fahrenheit 451 (2009 film), Jurassic Park IV, and Spider-Man 4 that had seemingly solid information like this film but still have not been able to enter production. Perhaps Nottingham could be merged elsewhere, such as at Ridley Scott's page. Another director, Neil Marshall, has a number of announced projects that are listed there. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 11:21, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete unless citations from reliable sources are added to comply with the verifiability policy. Anyone can add stuff to IMDB. Stifle (talk) 18:28, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
• Neutral, although I think this is a clear delete based on current practice. I just figure we'll have to recreate it anyways. gren グレン 23:04, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

• Maybe, maybe not. Ridley Scott has a ton of choices right now. He's attached to adapting Blood Meridian, Stones, The Low Dweller, The Kind One, a Reagan film, and Brave New World. Nottingham could come first, or it could come after all these projects, or not be made at all. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 23:28, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete There is nothing available to confirm this is actually going to be made into a film. Ecoleetage (talk) 00:59, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. The notability guidelines for future films stipulate that a stand-alone article for a film should not be created until a project enters production. Many factors, such as budget issues, scripting issues, and casting issues can interfere with a project well ahead of its intended filming date. It's already been delayed once; who's to say it won't be again. In accordance with the guideline, the article can be recreated when principal photography is confirmed to have begun.
