Deletion discussion about American slaughter
Hello, Necromiko,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether American slaughter should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/American slaughter.

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Hello,

This is a page for a movie in development. I am trying to alter the title so that it says movie. how do I do so? I happened to stumble onto the option to even create an article and cant find the option so i can modify it correctly. please let me know know how to correct this and how to be approved to keep this article active. thank you


 * The best way to have the article kept would be to show that there are reliable sources like newspapers, media sources, or other sites that are independent of the subject that are talking about it. News articles are the usual source for Wikipedia articles, but other media coverage works too. Press releases, not so much - anyone can say anything in a press release. Your own website, or that of the film, would also be right out - again, you can say whatever you want, but it's not exactly independent. In this case, given how early it is in the film's production.... honestly, an article might be premature. Usually films are considered notable enough to have articles when they are close to being released, or when they've received awards. In both cases, we need independent sources. If those sources aren't available for this film, then it might be wise to wait a while. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 14:36, 18 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Also, note that I removed the copy of the article from your userpage, since it appeared to contain the text of a press release. By rule, we can't post other people's copyrighted work on Wikipedia. Thanks. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 14:37, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Alright, I do have other links such as official website, facebook page, etc. I am awaiting on additional links.

If possible can the title be changed so the the S in slaughter is capitalized? I could not find a tab to alter this myself. Also if it can be displayed as a movie page IE American Slaugher (Movie) that would be great. Still awaiting additional links.

Thank You


 * In most cases, if this is the only article that could reasonably be titled "American Slaughter", then it would just be named that. We usually only add the (film) to the end if there's more than one "American Slaughter". The capital S makes sense, but I'd recommend waiting until after the AFD to move it - if the AFD is closed as Keep, which seems unlikely at this point. As for additional links.... honestly, facebook links and links to the official website are good to confirm that the movie exists, but do nothing to confirm that the movie is notable. For films, the relevant criteria is found at WP:NFF; I'll copy the relevant bits here for you.


 * Films that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles, as budget issues, scripting issues and casting issues can interfere with a project well ahead of its intended filming date. The assumption should also not be made that because a film is likely to be a high-profile release it will be immune to setbacks—there is no "sure thing" production. Until the start of principal photography, information on the film might be included in articles about its subject material, if available. Sources must be used to confirm the start of principal photography after shooting has begun.


 * Additionally, films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines. Similarly, films produced in the past, which were either not completed or not distributed, should not have their own articles unless their failure was notable per the guidelines.


 * Unfortunately, I don't think this film is far enough along - yet. Once its release is imminent, or once there is significant media coverage of the production, then - and only then - would an article be appropriate. This isn't to say that an article will never be approved - only that it is too soon for one. I hope this helps explain things a bit. Please feel free to ask questions, here or at the deletion debate.
