I brought this because an IP removed the prod. The reason is ..notability.., I would have to say notability is premature in this case and utterly unverifiable. No links on google. 20th century fox shows no listing under future releases (which lists movies up to november). this article should be deleted. If its real.. someone else will re-add it with sourced accurate info as the production moves forward. I do want to point out that IMDB does show a 3D Alvin and the Chipmunks in development for release in 2011 and that all. there is almost no other info even on IMDB (and the movie is supposed to be released in a matter of days) and not even the name of the article cannot be verified. Also the original poster has been blocked indefinatly for making fake articles like "Reasons why Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia Sucks". Tracer9999 (talk) 18:38, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per CSD G3 (blatant hoax) or CSD G5 (creation by blocked user). Erik (talk) 18:46, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete for failing WP:V. Can't find this film outside Wikipedia and its mirrors. Possible hoax. Definitely not notable. • Gene93k (talk) 18:55, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 *  Comment Delete. Alvin and the Chipmunks 3D is a real project, announced by Fox around March 10. A March 10 Variety article says "Studio has set a release date of Dec. 16, 2011 for "Alvin and the Chipmunks 3D." and this news has been picked up in various media, e.g..  The "Rampage" title is quite possibly made up, as may be the references to a 4th and 5th film.  Maybe Per comments by Erik and Accounting4Taste, it is best to delete and start over. --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:58, 7 April 2010 (UTC) switching to Delete Arxiloxos (talk) 21:14, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * We have Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel – Sequel, where we can add this kind of information. As the article stands, it seems to be a hoax that used the announcement as a launch pad for so-called validity.  The article title and content is pretty much invalid, so deletion is ideal.  If production begins on a third film, it should be at Alvin and the Chipmunks 3D. Erik (talk) 19:07, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * No disagreement here. Formally switching to delete.--Arxiloxos (talk) 21:14, 7 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. No reason to believe that this film is in production -- not enough information to even know if it's live-action or animated -- at any rate, doesn't unambiguously meet the future films policy.  Accounting4Taste: talk 21:00, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
