Hansel and Gretel in 3D
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This film has been up for deletion twice now. In one AfD it was outright deleted and in the other it was moved into the incubator. The film was moved back to the mainspace last month and while I was tempted to move it back into the incubator, there's a very serious problem here with coverage in that the film hasn't actually received any coverage since Febrary 2012. Basically, it looks like it's been about two years since anyone has actually reported on this film and I honestly don't think that this is going to get made. It would've been awesome if it had, but this looks like one of countless films that almost got made but never got beyond some initial buzz. I really don't think that this would be worth moving back into the incubator. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   11:09, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia Is Not A Crystal Ball The article says "as of 2012" production has been stalled. It's 2014 now.  Delete this article and let it be created once (and if) the film is actually released. I feel like a tourist (talk) 15:28, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - As with 1000's of other proposed films this one seems to have stalled. The article can easily be restored should production actually begin. If the vote is to keep it then the article could use some cleanup as the lede and the production section are almost identical and there is no need to read the same info twice in such a short article.

 * Keep - the article has four citations to reliable sources that cover the topic, plus a search gave me further sources here, here and here. AfD is not cleanup, and having something unreleased is not a reason to delete per se - see Smile (The Beach Boys album) for a good example of how an unreleased product can be notable.

 * Problem is, we need a lot of coverage to show that an unreleased, unmade project is notable and all we have are articles that all essentially say the same thing: that the film would get made and that someone was interested in purchasing it. We have nothing that shows that this got beyond some initial planning. Even if some work did get started, we have nothing to prove that what little production occurred is actually noteworthy. I get that sometimes unreleased projects can become notable, but I don't think that this is one of those exceptions because of the extremely limited coverage that this received. We need more than what we have now to show that this would be one of those rare exceptions to the never released rule. Tokyogirl79  (｡◕‿◕｡)   15:16, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Another problem is two of the citations are from 2010 and one from 2011 so they are more than a little out-of-date. the last one only mentions the sale of rights to various countries. It says nothing about any actual filming. MarnetteD | Talk 17:53, 11 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete per failing WP:NF. It seems a splash was made in February 2012 when distribution rights were sold (someone got rich with pre-sales), but my own sense it it stalled when Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters was filmed and released. Let it be recreated or undeleted when we have more toward actual production. If someone wishes to write of it in related articles (producer or production company) AND source it, that would be fine.
