Chappie 2
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A film said to have commenced principle photography, but no sources given that would verify that fact. Delete for failure to satisfy WP:GNG and WP:NFILM. Also, I would vehemently oppose merge and would only accept redirect IF the pages history is deleted and then the redirect is created. Safiel (talk) 02:16, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Chappie (film). It's covered in enough detail there.  That article has a citation to a Twitter account that production was planned to begin in October 2016, but there's no real coverage in reliable sources.  Let's wait until there's something substantial to say instead of reporting rumors from Instagram.  Given that the article has been repeatedly recreated, I suggest it be semi-protected.  If logged in accounts recreate it, they can be blocked. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:25, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
 * This post from Blomkamp says it's not happening. So, delete. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:08, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Neill Blomkamp has just debunked this on his Twitter. So, it's most likely not happening. And for the skeptics, here is the tweet Crboyer (talk) 16:55, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Neill Blomkamp wrote me a tweet on October 25th, 2016 saying that Chappie 2 would start on October 26th, 2016. Here's the proof that he told me that on Twitter. CommanderShinzon (talk) 6:51 PM, 13 November 2016 (PST)
 * Yes, and now Blomkamp says he was just kidding when he said that. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:08, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
 * No, Neill Blomkamp lied. Production's still going on. And i have proof he said that on Twitter. CommanderShinzon (talk)

 * Delete CommanderShinzon has been posting invented information about Watkin Tutor Jones on wikipeadia this is just one of many pages they have made up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:602:C303:C670:A87D:A958:6379:B134 (talk) 08:58, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm going to close this - a look at the article shows that this is a complete hoax. Blomkamp hiring a complete unknown as DoP? Tom Hanks, a 60 year old man, playing the younger version of a man in his 40s? Yeah... no. Blomkamp even stated outright on his Twitter feed that the Wednesday post was a joke and that it's not happening, as the film did not do well enough. I will also be looking into whether or not this is the first outright hoax that created on Wikipedia. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  09:33, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
