Upcoming movie that does not pass WP:NFF. 1l2l3k (talk) 22:56, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Principal photography has begun, so it does actually pass NFF. JustaFilmFan (talk) 23:03, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
 * No, actually beginning photography doesn't make them notable. Read the last paragraph of NFF ("Additionally, films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines. Similarly, films produced in the past which were either not completed or not distributed should not have their own articles, unless their failure was notable per the guidelines."). What case can you make about the production being notable? --1l2l3k (talk) 00:29, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

 * uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, how is this film 'not noteworthy'?! That's ridiculous. The film is currently in production, photography is well underway and it's an upcoming release. Stating that it isn't noteworthy is simply an opinion. The page needs to STAY.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 01:26, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete On top of passing WP:TOOSOON for an unreleased film, makes the clear point citing WP:NFF (Additionally, films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines. Similarly, films produced in the past which were either not completed or not distributed should not have their own articles, unless their failure was notable per the guidelines) Bkissin (talk) 17:31, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Principal photography has begun, but more saliently in this case production itself is notable (independent coverage from multiple WP:RS) (e.g. The Hollywood Reporter, Deadline, Variety). Cindlevet (talk) 16:52, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep - Passes WP:NFF since principle photography has begun and the sources included are reliable. Nathan2055talk - contribs 08:00, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment: Can you please state how does it exactly pass WP:NFF?--1l2l3k (talk) 21:44, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Dissecting NFF, there's basically two main points:
 * 1. Until a film has commenced principal photography, it is not notable enough to get its own article. Reliable sources must be used to confirm this.
 * 2. Once a film has commenced principal photography, but before it has been released, an article should only be made if the production itself passes WP:GNG.
 * Point 1 is irrelevant since the film has already begun principal photography. We're then left with point 2: does the production itself pass WP:GNG? Well, we have four sources from three news outlets discussing aspects of it, namely due to the fact that it is produced and written by the Russo brothers and stars Chris Hemsworth, who are all big names in cinema at the moment due to being the writers and a star, respectively, of Avengers: Infinity War, the clear biggest movie of 2018 and the fourth highest grossing film of all time as of writing. Their involvement leads to coverage, coverage leads to sourcing, sourcing leads to notability. Thus it passes WP:NFF, at least in my interpretation.

 * Keep the film has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources and therefore passes WP:GNG and WP:NFILM, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 16:42, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
