[edit] Thatcher (film)

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

A forthcoming drama on British TV (see [1]) that may or may not become notable in time. If it does, we can have an article then. Nom under WP:N, WP:NOTCRYSTAL, WP:NFF AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 19:45, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete That IMDB link doesn't connect to any information on the film. Ecoleetage (talk) 10:26, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak keep There was actually a good source on the article of the actress set to play Thatcher; not sure why it wasn't put in this article. I also added a source from The Guardian that was linked to by the nom's EL. I fixed the IMDB link BTW (they used the wrong template), though it doesn't show much. I think the sources are sufficient to pass WP:CRYSTAL. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 20:13, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Merge to Margaret Thatcher. Editorofthewikireview my edits here! 10:40, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Is sourced. There is no speculation. WP:CRYSTAL doesn't apply. Sources provided satisfy WP:N. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 14:13, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
    • merge and Redirect to Margaret Thatcher. There are sufficient sources to avoid WP:CRYSTAL, however, a stand alone article is not yet appropriate as per, specificially, WP:NFF "Sources need to confirm the start of shooting after shooting has begun." (original emphasis). Also, a critical failing is that what I think should be the most reliable source, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1007029/, contains only "More information for this In Development project is only available on IMDbPro. To sign-up for a 14-day free trial,"
  • Delete. A future film that hasn't officially started filming (let alone announce a release date) explicitly fails WP:FILM and WP:CRYSTAL. Lots and lots can now, and production, and eventual release. No prejudice against recreation when production starts and/or release date announced. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 20:47, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to Margaret Thatcher. Razorflame 01:10, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Margaret Thatcher until either a) there has been a more definite set of details as to airing on BBC2 or b) further details on cast, production, taping, etc., come to light. The article in question is utterly devoid of information, even though the two linked "newspaper articles"/press releases have much more. WP:CRYSTAL still applies as there was a definite lack of detail as to production and/or airing. B.Wind (talk) 04:39, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:NFF.  Frank  |  talk  06:38, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
