Funny People

The notability guidelines for future films stipulate that a stand-alone article for a film should not be created until a project enters production. This is because many factors such as budget issues, scripting issues, and casting issues can interfere with the project. The article can be recreated when principal photography is confirmed to have begun. Steve T • C 15:53, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom and WP:NFF; this film is in pre-production, but it is not guaranteed to move onto production. Lots of films are planned, but only a few actually start shooting.  If Funny People does begin production, no problem with article recreation. — Erik  (talk • contrib) - 16:08, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

 * ok why is my article up for deletion? and this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sci-Fi_Movie ISNT!?
 * Hi. Sorry to dump on your hard work like this. Can I suggest that, should the article be deleted, it is first userfied to User:Jwein/Funny People. In this way, nothing is lost you will be able to work on it until such time as the film enters production and passes the notability guidelines, whereupon it can be transferred back into the mainspace. As for that other film article, I'll go prod it now. Steve  T • C 07:29, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * can u tell me how to do this please? --Jwein (talk) 00:48, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Of course. You don't actually need to do anything much. If the decision is made to delete the article, the admin who enacts this will be able to move the entire content of the article, including its history (to keep the record of your contributions), to User:Jwein/Funny People. Once this has been done, you can simply keep editing the article as you see fit, until such time as the film becomes notable. When this occurs, you can move the article back to Funny People. If you need any help doing this when the time comes, please let me know and I'll be glad to be of assistance. In addition, if you want to create any other articles, which you fear may not yet be notable, you can create 'sandbox' versions of these in your userspace (at something like User:Jwein/XXX (where 'XXX' = name of article)) to edit in the meantime, then move them to the main article space when you think it'll be OK to do so. I did the same thing with pages such as User:Steve/Future/White Jazz (film). That production was supposed to film in January 2008, but stalled, which is why it's still in my userspace.
