Blair Witch 3: The Prequel
This article is an exercise in crystalballism taken to an absurd extreme---the article's author simply has no idea whether the film will be made, and even concludes by saying it probably won't. It is stated that the film is in post-production, then a few sentences later, he states the film has not been made---which is it? Wikipedia is not the place for speculation as to whether or not a certain film will be made. When the film truly exists, then you write an article. Charles 17:30, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Important clerical notice I just wanted to note for the record on this vote that this article creator is creating multiple sequel articles with no references whatsoever &mdash; examples are Signs 2, Blair Witch 3: The Prequel, Speed 3, Stir of Echoes: The Dead Speak, and I'll Never Forget what You Did Last Summer, possibly for sinister reasons (see Fan1967's statement in Articles for deletion/Signs 2) Furthermore, same creator is continually removing the AfD notices on his pages, so you may want to keep a special eye on the source page for this article to make sure that they don't do the same with yours.  Blocking may be slightly ineffective due to the anonymous editors being behind AOL proxy servers (see here and here). &mdash; Mike &bull;  02:09, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Yes, Mike, actually the AfD notice for this article has been removed twice, and I suspected the removers were sockpuppets of the original author. I did not make the connection with these other crystal ball movie articles, though.  Good catch.  What a nuisance. ---Charles 03:43, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete It says filming hasn't even begun yet.-- A n d e h 18:08, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. While Blair Witch scared the pants off me and I would dearly love to see a III, this article is utter speculation and crystal-ballism. D e nni &#9775;  20:11, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Шизомби 20:30, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, and delete Blair Witch 2 from my memory. Extraordinary Machine 21:52, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as nonsensical crystal ballism. And can we also delete the original "BWP" from existence? It is- quite literally- my least-favorite movie of all-time. The only thing that scared me about it is that my best friend's dad paid 8 bucks so I could see it. -- Kicking222 22:15, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete A shining example for WP:NOT. On the bright side, you can get a great laugh by clicking on the link and seeing the original proposed release date of November 2002. fuzzy510 23:34, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Yet another article about a movie that doesn't even have a firm plan to be made. Fan1967 23:38, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * COMMENT whether this film is made or not, the creators of Blair Witch are on record about what this film was supposed to be about, why they skipped out on Blair Witch 2, and what chance the film has of being made after BW2 tanked. 132.205.44.134 03:00, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Harold Ramis and Dan Ayckroyd are on record in talking about their plans for "Ghostbusters 3", but that article was deleted, too. Many things are proposed, hoped and talked about. Doesn't make them worth an article. Fan1967 17:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete, hoax --Deville (Talk) 22:52, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete "or probably not". Subpar write-up on crystal-ball article. Voice of Treason 15:01, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. Per original nomination.  Author's sole contributions to Wikipedia (as well as from anonymous IPs that have been removing AfD notices -- watch out for this one) has been to create unreferenced sequel articles in disregard of WP:V and WP:NOT a crystal ball. &mdash; Mike &bull;  00:09, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete because. Danny Lilithborne 09:08, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT crystalball clause.--Isotope23 19:45, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Crystalball. The only notable info (that it was announced, but years later still hasn't been made) is already in one of the other Blair Witch articles. --Icarus 05:20, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
