Aaliyah (film)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod. Article is based on a single source about casting (from a gossip site!). Fails WP:CRYSTAL. There simply isn't enough known about the film for an article. Movingboxes (talk) 09:31, 23 August 2008 (UTC) I think that the film is highly anticipated (i.e. "Selena") Of course, there is going to a sort of sensitivity factor regarding her untimely death. With that said, she had a beautiful life and achieved alot of success at a young age. I just am worried about the details of her private life. I think it should be more about just her career and how spirited of a person she was. I still miss her. I don't want people to forget about her. I hope this movie does come out. I think the artist Keyshia Chante is a good choice as well. With Bill Condon (Dreamgirls) involved in the production it is sure to be a highly anticipated film. As far as the truthfulness of the article, I don't know. It is questionable. There were supposed to be new CDs released from the late artist as well, but never came to fruition. There is still alot of time. The 7th year anniversary of her death is tomorrow (8/25/08). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.76.35 (talk) 20:41, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wow, that's a particularly awful source, composed entirely of an unsourced rumor and some publicity shots. A news search reveals no evidence that anything more concrete has been reported by any reliable sources, so this is definitely a WP:CRYSTAL violation at the moment. ~ mazca  t 19:52, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and Mazca: poorly sourced speculation on a possible future film. Cliff smith  talk  21:01, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, is probably a hoax (no imdb entry, no other reliable sources to be found), and in any case fails WP:NFF. -- Amalthea Talk 19:56, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
