BURN-E

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

I originally tagged this article for deletion as a hoax. It appears that this is indeed an unproduced short film scheduled for the DVD release of an unreleased film, as sourced to an unnamed orchestra member and reported on blogs and forums. As a violation of WP:MOVIE, WP:V, and WP:RS, I have to recommend Delete //  Chris  (complaints) • (contribs) 03:42, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: there is no official citation/announcement about the existance of this film yet. SpikeJones (talk) 15:08, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - poorly sourced speculation, and as such WP:CRYSTAL --T-rex 03:05, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Note - pixar has traditionally released shorts of this type in theaters along with the full length film, so confirmation may not be that far away --T-rex 03:05, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Recreate once there is info.--SkyWalker (talk) 14:30, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - You'd have to be in denial to say that BURN-E is not Pixar's next short film. What else would it be? dogman15 (talk) 07:30, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I know sarcasm doesn't translate very well over the internet, so I'm going to ask if you're serious?  Because we really don't have any sources asserting that there is a movie called BURN*E...  //   Chris  (complaints) • (contribs) 01:32, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: The information presented here is generalized and conjectured. There is no official announcement, although the article might be worth re-writing when the WALL-E DVD comes out and more information about BURN-E is available. 98.212.237.50 (talk) 00:04, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: The are already three references and they even made a logo, which by the way is very similar to WALL-E's. Please consider waiting at least until the actual film is released (tomorrow) to see if the producers say anything about the short iDosh!  talk?  02:42, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * UPDATE: Now it has five nine references and bit more info. iDosh!  talk?  03:03, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment But all the sources still go back to a forum post by an orchestra member.  Please have a look at WP:RS and tell me how these qualify as reliable sources.  //   Chris  (complaints) • (contribs) 11:57, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Noahudlis - Although this article should include more sources, it does not merit deletion. Pixar does often release movie-based shorts exclusively to DVD, especially Mater and the Ghostlight on Cars, and Your Friend the Rat on Ratatouille. The DVD will be released many months later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noahudlis (talk • contribs)

 * Keep. Adequately sourced at this point. Phil Sandifer (talk) 20:38, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The sources all trace back to a forum post and/or are in blogs; therefore, they are not reliable. And I use too many semicolons. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 22:32, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Note: And you are saying that using semicolons is bad? The semicolon is used on the article's name is supposed to be like that. iDosh!  talk?  00:50, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Comment It is untrue that all of the sources go back to a forum post. The website of the score's composer lists BURN-E on his resume, and establishes it as the DVD short for WALL-E. Closer should thus disregard this line of argument entirely, due to its manifest lack of truth. Phil Sandifer (talk) 01:24, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
