The result was   Delete. Attempting to equate this title (movie) with the earlier one (film) is encyclopedically unnecessary. A merge is inappropriate as the earlier film exists and this one does not, and may never do so. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 12:24, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Movie

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

Contested prod. Badly violates WP:NFF. All information given is pure speculation, bordering on deliberate misinformation: Whedon has explicitly denied (penultimate paragraph) any involvement. Hqb (talk) 19:27, 18 June 2009 (UTC) Hqb (talk) 19:27, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

 * The year is not 2012, I have no idea why so many users cannot get WP:NFF. Delete, as the infobox even has "rumored" above the cast. Darrenhusted (talk) 19:49, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. Rumors all over the blogosphere, but facts and reliable sources are virtually non-existent. Nothing useful in this article that could benefit from being merged into other Buffy-related articles either. -- Scjessey (talk) 20:25, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Yet another reason to write WP:SLOBBERINGFANBOY. People will wet their pants over the first little scrap of information they find. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 20:53, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Violates WP:CRYSTAL and WP:Notability (films) because it hasn't been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography.  The Le ft ori um  21:02, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NFF. JJL (talk) 21:50, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete far too soon for an article about a film that is stil indevelopment and rumour stage. Might justify a metion on the Buffy page, but nthing more until there is something more certain.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 21:52, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Buffy the Vampire Slayer (film) (i.e. the article on the 1992 movie), because, duh. Some of the above contributors really should know better than to !vote delete on a search term as plausible as this.— S Marshall   Talk / Cont  23:43, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment the existence of the movie has been denied by the putative director, and a search on Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Movie will surely land on Buffy the Vampire Slayer without a rd. JJL (talk) 01:02, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I think what you're missing here, JJL, is that a very notable movie of Buffy the Vampire Slayer exists. It was filmed in 1992 and the TV programme is a spinoff of it.  And it has its own Wikipedia article.  I think it's a bit of a no-brainer that a search for "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Movie" should take you directly to "Buffy the Vampire Slayer (film)", to be honest.— S Marshall   Talk / Cont  11:54, 19 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment a search for Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Movie (no quotes) takes you first to the page under discussion, of course, but the next hit is Buffy Summers. This project is alluded to in the first section there (Appearances/Film), and the original film is linked there too. That's reasonable. JJL (talk) 14:17, 19 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL and the article's over-reliance on rumors. If anything, without Whedon's backing this project will be stuck in lawsuit hell for years anyways.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 02:16, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Buffy the Vampire Slayer (film), as there is a movie called Buffy, and this is a reasonable way to refer to it. 70.29.212.226 (talk) 04:34, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete at least since shooting hasn't yet started. Project appears to be in early stages of development anyway, as duly noted above.  Worth mentioning at other pertinent articles, provided that it's verified of course.  Cliff smith  talk  01:33, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge into Buffy the Vampire Slayer (film) for the good reasons given by User:S Marshall. Colonel Warden (talk) 11:10, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
