If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Translading the article

Now that the dspute about the apropriatness of this article has been resolved I think it may be a good idea to translate it into more languages. It has already been translated into slovene (by me) and a french article about the film has existed for some time now.U5K0 (talk) 18:29, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong namespace

Hi. There's a problem with the article, it's in the project namespace. That's why it says "project page" on the top, instead of "article". Can this be fixed, or will it always be in Wikipedia namespace due to the title? Thanks. ~A H 1^(TCU) 20:29, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I've been told that this topic isn't ready to be an article yet. Also a project namespace is aparently a good incubator for a future article. I'm not shure when the info here will be considered good enough to be an article. U5K0 20:38, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Why not? This looks good enough for a real article. In fact, it looks better than some real articles I've seen. Besides, it's linked from the mainspace with the appearence that it's a real article. In fact, an inexperienced reader may identify this as an article. I even thought it was an article until I saw it said "project page". I also thought "Wikipedia:" was part of the movie's title. Could you point out some of the parts it doesn't have yet in order to become a real article? Thanks. ~A H 1^(TCU) 00:46, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Basically an article like this was deleted in the begining of the year (in the spring). When I found out about the movie and saw there was no article about it I wrote the one that is still on my talk page. From what I understand it was deleted on the ground that the same article had already been deleted half a year before. That one was deleted because it didn't have enough sources and becase Wikipedia "isn't a cristal ball". I'd like it very much if it were to become an article but I'm still sort of a n00b here. U5K0 14:26, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Even though I donated to it, I don't think it's notable enough to be in the main namespace. It's just another low-budget proposed film. Let's keep it in project namespace for now. Superm401 - Talk 13:30, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

It should be in the article name space. If its not notable enough for an article, we can't shield it from AfD/notability scrutiny in the Wikipedia space. I've moved it. • Lawrence Cohen 21:36, 20 November 2007 (UTC) I think that if every pokemon can have its own article than this movie should also be able to have at least a project page.

[edit] Locations section

The lists of Wikipedians, who aren't notable, should probably be removed. • Lawrence Cohen 23:34, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Not really. They are part of cast. `'Míkka>t 23:35, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Movie articles only list the most important or notable characters. For example, on King Kong. We have almost 100 plus Wikipedia users and other individuals listed. They certainly are not all important or notable parts of the cast. The article needs to match the style of all the other articles on films. • Lawrence Cohen 23:44, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Let's remove the Wikipedians list. --Jedravent (talk) 01:04, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, at least the ones who say something meaningful (rather than just mingle) must be mentioned. Anyway, I agree they must be deleted now and re-added later after the final release. Who knows which pieces of the whole filming will be in the final montage. `'Míkka>t 01:39, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

OK that sounds reasonable. I would however like to ask anyone who deletes the information in question to also re-add it when the time comes. Otherwise leave a note on my talk page. U5K0 (talk) 14:51, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Removed, for all of the above reasons. Mention of some significant individuals and/or film locations might be useful, but that's debatable and I won't waste time trying to do so myself. I will not be checking back to see when the time comes for mentioning the "Internet cafe owner" from India. I've also added a "tone" tag to the subsequent section in regards to the lack of 'encyclopedic voice', which seems fairly self explanatory as the first bullet point item begins with "The crew wilds out". - Banyan Tree 06:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
