 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was moved to Draft:Finding Jack, with the mainspace title redirected to the putative director. Possible outcomes are all over the map, so this one does the best to WP:PRESERVE. BD2412 T 07:06, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Finding Jack

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Appears to be stuck in development hell. No news about the project since November of 2019. Fails WP:NFF. Dominicmgm (talk) 12:54, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I suggest and support moving this to draftspace in the case development does come out about it. Trailblazer101 (talk) 13:41, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * In that case I have restored the draft. Dominicmgm (talk) 16:24, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete no indication that this project is actually notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:07, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom. Donaldd23 (talk) 16:54, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Daily Variety, Hollywood Reporter, BBC are all significant publications. So it meets WP:GNG.Webmaster862 (talk) 03:20, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment The article is well-sourced, yes, but as I said earlier, it also fails WP:NFF as the project has seen no news since those sources were published and may even be cancelled. Dominicmgm (talk) 12:52, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Move to Draft:Finding Jack, for it "is an upcoming American war film". -  Yit be  A-21 12:58, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Eddie891 Talk Work 21:13, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the director, Anton Ernst. IMDb still lists this film as being in pre-production, with no distributor identified nor any live people as cast members. The filmmakers may have achieved the distinction of getting clearance from the James Dean estate to use a digital version of him in the film, but I don't see any evidence that they have actually filmed the movie yet, so WP:NFF applies. (This article identifies Magic City Films as the distributor, but that company has never distributed a feature film before, so presumably if the film is completed and released it will likely be in collaboration with a more established distribution company.) --Metropolitan90 (talk) 23:56, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Seeing as how this project's status is still up in the air and based on other proposals above, I suggest it is of best interest to first delete the draft article Draft:Finding Jack that redirects to Finding Jack, move the mainspace article to the draft, and then recreate the Finding Jack mainspace article as a redirect to the director Anton Ernst. That way, all of the edits done on the article so far are not lost. This would require a WP:Round robin move. Trailblazer101 (talk) 00:18, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Can't the article be turned into a redirect to the director (but with its edit history left intact), then reverted into that article when/if the film comes into being? -Jason A. Quest (talk) 02:19, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
 * That is not best advised as if something does come up about the film, it can be worked on in the draftspace with the edit history intact. A new redirect should be created for the mainspace separate from this page for the redirecting purpose not conflicting with this article's content.
