The result was Delete. Even if the IMDB is taken as reliable evidence that this will be made, there is not enough in the article to establish its notability before it is made. And the consensus here is clear. DES (talk) 18:17, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

1906 (film)

WP:CRYSTAL - article is based entirely on rumors based on fan sites - no reliable confirmation or sources from Disney/Pixar/Bird. Recently added "references" only mention rumor, and one source only references the other source. If the film does come to be, then by all means I'm for recreation, but for now, this is clearly WAY too early to have a page based on a rumor posted on a fan site.

 * Neutral: IMDB seems to feel that this movie is going to be released this year, but doesn't have much info beyond that.   Ravenswing  15:53, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * FYI IMDB is not an edited, reliable source. You submit data and they pretty much take your word for it until they hear differently.  Kind of like some other site I can think of... - Richfife 16:44, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Movies can only be added to IMDB by paid IMDB staff with information provided by production companies. Users can add comments, ratings, and reviews ONLY. If ist listed at IMDB its in some stage of production above their deminimus. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 19:29, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Since when? New films are moderated by IMBD staff to weed out the blatant hoaxes and attack pages, but anyone can add a new title (although they submit submissions by SPAs without a legitimate edit history to extra scrutiny before they let their additions go live) —  irides centi   (talk to me!)  22:00, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as crystal ball, with recreation if and only if the producer/director, cast, and specific release date can be verified through the use of reliable sources independant of the organisation or people directly related to the production of the film. -- saberwyn 22:04, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - information provided in reliable blog Upcomingpixar.com, which provides a link to a video to confirm the information in its May 22 entry.  When the IESB visited Pixar a few months back, we confirmed with Bird that his next movie would indeed be live action but it would not be John Carter, it’s 1906, based on the novel written by James Dalessandro about the San Francisco quake. He told us he was currently in negotiations. We were asked not to report on the news at that time and to hold the story for a little while. We did, but since we are going on a three months, we figure it’s safe to report now.  IESB is a reliable media outlet, not a fan site, so reliable and sourced. 91.163.168.156 15:30, 27 May 2007 (UTC) — 91.163.168.156 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete - "reliable" is a subjective term, but according to WP:RSEX, blogs don't fit that standard, especially an unaffiliated fan blog like UpcomingPixar. TheRealFennShysa 18:07, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - So the blog is not right. And what about IESB and the video interview of John Lasseter in it ? 193.56.37.1 08:23, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete I consider IMDB to be reliable but the article doesn't even source the studio. Postcard Cathy 02:06, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Strong delete Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Bradybd 07:48, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
