Antichrist (film)

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

Delete per WP:CBALL -- according to IMDB, shooting has not even begun Editor437 (talk) 06:48, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Film-related deletion discussions.   —• Gene93k (talk) 10:38, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NFF. According to semi-reliable/unreliable sources, this film is lining up its cast as of August 2008. The article is near-copyvio of the IMDb entry anyway. No loss for creating a proper article when the film is shot. • Gene93k (talk) 10:48, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NFF: the article, almost the same as its IMDB entry as Gene duly noted, even says that it's in pre-production. Enough said.  Cliff smith  talk  17:32, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Although THIS Google search finds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, et al., not saying much more than IMDB, THIS search finds 1, 2, 3, 4, and others, all indicating that production begins at the end of August... likely before this AfD runs its course... so I think it easily passes Crystal as well as verification in multiple reliable sources. A few days patience should make WP:NF a no-brainer.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 01:45, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Per WP:NFF, films should not get articles before principal photography starts. Too many things can happen to delay or derail a project. WP:CRYSTAL until the cameras roll. • Gene93k (talk) 13:36, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep for now based upon Schmidt's research, with no prejudice to renomination at a later date should it become evident that production did not occur. 23skidoo (talk) 13:00, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * update: William Defoe has signed,Cast has trained and are going to go to the shoot location near Cologne, Pre-sales have already been concluded by TrustNordisk with around 25 territories, Lars von Trier ready to shoot, French report that filming in imminent. This is getting a lot of international coverage. Worth keeping here for a bit if only per WP:GNG. With cast on location, I expect to find an article about the filming very soon.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 05:33, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Update Did cleanup and wikification, added infobox and production/distribution informations. Catagorized. Found a few more supportive sources. Added them.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 03:43, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep As expanded, the sources provided satisfy the notability standard. Alansohn (talk) 00:24, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Update Added to Infobox per additional sources & external links. More every day.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 20:21, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep My personal threshold for future films is: "If everyone involved put their hands up and walked away from the project right now, would the film still warrant an article on the basis of what has happened so far?" In this case, I think yes, but just barely. - Richfife (talk) 21:05, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep for now with the improvements to the article (particularly the references) it no longer falls under WP:CRYSTAL. Since the film has begun preproduction, along with the film being reliably associated with numerous notable people I feel it satisfies the notability criteria to remain for now. If the film ends up in development hell then it may warrant deletion. --147.70.176.108 (talk) 21:12, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I Agree. If Von Trier finds some way to screw up distribution presales and and 11 million investment, the article would deserve to go.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 23:24, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually that would likely may a new wave of notability. Banj e  b oi   00:12, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * And lawsuits, no doubt (chuckle).  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 00:25, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Per excellent work in adding sources and cleaning up. Banj e  b oi   00:12, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
