[edit] Silence (movie)

Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. A check on IMDB indicates that the movie is still in production and isn't due to be released until 2006. Not to mention, this article is devoid of content. Should be deleted until the movie is released. —Cleared as filed. 06:31, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

• Comment. There is verifiable information available about this see [1] but article is currently a speedy delete candidate under Category A1 as a short article with little or no context. Capitalistroadster 06:38, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Wikipedia is not a crystal ball unless evidence is presented, not merely that the movie is forthcoming (which Capitalistroadster has done) but that it is a film that is so important that it is interest now outside film-buff circles. For example, if the preparation for this film has been mentioned someplace like The New York Times or Time Magazine then I would agree that preparation for this film is encyclopedic now. Is it a huge bet-the-company gamble that will sink the film company if it's not a hit? Is it part of the new trend toward movies with a Christian subtext? Is there anything that makes it important prior to release? Dpbsmith (talk) 13:53, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
