Procedural AfD - Declined speedy. User:Artichoke-Boy said "this article’s subject looks to be just an assumption, and is unreferenced, thus containing no notability whatsoever." \ Backslash Forwardslash / (talk) 21:26, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: the article sucks, but there are reliable sources for it (sample google news search), so it should have no problem meeting WP:NFILM. tedder (talk) 21:32, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. In a hasty search I haven't found anything explicitly confirming that filming has begun, but this seems a pretty reliable indication that it was scheduled to begin in "late summer" of this year. Given that and a sourcable cast list, I think there's enough here for an article that doesn't fall foul of WP:CRYSTAL. Article needs retitling and extensive cleanup and wikification, of course.

 * Keep Deor made some excellent points. Coverage in reliable sources allows this article to meet WP:NFF, and I have begun cleanup and expansion. MichaelQSchmidt (talk) 19:47, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment to any helpful admin: I just tried to move the article to the proper title Diary of a Wimpy Kid (film), but that name is already set as a redirect to a section in the book series. That redirect needs be undone so that this article might exist under the proper name. Thanks, MichaelQSchmidt (talk) 19:55, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm an admin, I try to be helpful, but I'd prefer to do pagemoves after the AFD closes; it's just a technical limitation of some bots that they don't handle pagemoved AFDs very well. So feel free to ping me once it closes if I've forgotten to move it. tedder (talk) 19:57, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Click the Google News search, there plenty of coverage of this film project.  D r e a m Focus  22:58, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
