  • old nomination
  • Delete - Doesn't comply to guidelines and even if it was a present film, I doubt it'd be notable. Spawn Man 08:06, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:NF and redirect to The Rapture (film). Changing vote to Keep. I don't know if the sources in the article have just been added or I was asleep and missed them, but the non-trivial media coverage listed for this production, coupled with the way it is being cast, pushes it into the notability arena. If this article is kept, a DAB statement must be added to it, redirecting people to the earlier, more notable film. I've gone ahead and done what I'd originally suggested in the striked out comment. 23skidoo 11:47, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Rapture will be a notable film - DOP is Geoff Boyle who has just completed "The Mutant Chronicles", directed by Simon Hunter and starring Thomas Jane, John Malkovich, Devon Aoki, Ron Perlman. Publicity due to its innovative casting methods - recent BBC interview with director Steve Nesbit can be viewed on his MySpace and articles in Total Film, The Sun online as well as News of the World, The Mirror, The London Paper etc! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.155.146.230 (talk) 15:34, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

I presume, then, that you would recommend that the article be Kept? ZZ Claims ~ Evidence 13:32, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete - I don't think this article meets Notability - though it may as it nears its release date. Wikipedia is not a Crystal Ball, however - our coverage of future films should be limited, especially when films are this early in the production process. See Also WP:CRYSTAL. That said, The casting process does appear to be notable and innovative. The sources seem to mention the beginning of the process, but not the documentary or the result of the casting. If there's current coverage, I would consider that notable. A novel casting process that was mentioned once months ago and forgotten, however - not so much.

  • Keep It doesn't meet the notability guideline for future films, but the unusual casting method of taking initial auditions from a website establishes enough notability that this should be kept, even if the film is never made.--Chaser - T 17:46, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, because properly referenced and relevant article for Wikipedia. Best, --Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 22:39, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Presents a novel idea and will be notable when released Mbisanz 01:49, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
