[edit] The Simpsons Movie 2

The Simpsons Movie 2 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Been tagged for speedy several times, but doesn't seem to fit. But really, it's a crystal ball. I don't think a redirect to the first movie's page (as has been edit-warred) is right, since there's no evidence this thing even exists in the pre-production state that the article asserts.

• Redirect to The Simpsons Movie - In my view this is the only option, if its a re-direct then it can be easily watched and just reverted if anyone decides to make a page. For the record, there are no plans for a Simpsons Movie 2. Gran² 19:44, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

• Comment. You can watchlist a page that doesn't exist and it can be speedy-deleted if this AfD concludes as "delete", or else the page can be salted to prevent its recreation. If there really are no plans, then having a redirect for something that amounts to a hoax or wishful thinking seems even less appropriate than I had thought.

In that case, I change to Delete. Gran² 19:47, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete WP:NF clearly states that "Films which have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced shooting should not have their own articles." Although you can't technically "shoot" an animation, it still applies here as this film has obviously not yet entered production. I see countless articles on pre-production films get deleted through prod every week, and this should be no different. Tx17777 (talk) 19:53, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Delete as per Tx17777. Hammer1980·^talk 19:55, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete It's quite clearly nonsense vandalism. I have no idea why an afd is even necessary. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 19:56, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Especially when there aren't even any plans for the sequel. As mentioned above, WP:NF does say that the film has to have begun production, and the Simpsons Movie 2 fails that criteria. Useight (talk) 20:11, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
• STRONG DELETE or SPEEDY DELETE. no evidence that the movie is even being made,and it can't be a sequel if it isn't made.Crystal balling,defently.IslaamMaged126 (talk) 21:27, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete This film isn't being made, and should have been speedily deleted as false information. Alientraveller (talk) 21:38, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. Jonathan^T•@•C 22:21, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete because there is no verifiable information that this project is in production. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 23:29, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. My way of thinking is: if it's under production (it's not), give it an article. If there are rumours & rumblings of a sequel (I see no sign that this is the case), mention them in the original film's article and make this a redirect. Otherwise, as I say, delete. --Stormie (talk) 05:05, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
