 * Delete per WP:NFF. Also, no significant content.  --Rob Sinden (talk) 09:14, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge to director's article and redirect to Brad_Anderson_(director) Incubate Pardon Rob, but significant coverage is there when one looks. Within just moments I found Variety  JoBlo  Dread Central  Empire Online  Indiewire  Slashfilm   Collider  Bloody Disgusting  Dread Central  USA Today  and many others.  Does the stub article need major expansion?  Yes. Would easily found sources permit expansion?  Heck yes. In this case, incubation will allow and encourage a collaborative effort by interested editors is making the current stub article more suitable for mainspace.

 * Hi Michael - it wasn't the coverage that was insignificant, but the actual content on the page. --Rob Sinden (talk) 17:51, 29 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge to Brad_Anderson_(director) MichaelQSchmidt's search for sources is commendable and the nominator should take note of this per WP:BEFORE. That being said, many of the above sources do not comment very substantially on the film itself outside of its plot, such as the USA Today and Variety articles.  In fact, many of them seem to reference the film in relation to Brad Anderson's upcoming work, or that John Cusack is playing a major role.  I recommend the film be merged to the Brad Anderson page.  It is currently mentioned there, but info about release date and Samuel L. Jackson's confirmed role can be added. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 18:22, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Struck my "incubate" above. While incubation is a viable option, a merge and redirect serves just as well, and the article can either be spun back out or the the redirct reverted upon such time as principle filming begins. Ans I feel confident that the nominator did practice WP:BEFORE and came to the same conclusion of WP:NotJustYet as did I. He simply did not elaborate.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Relisting note Some discussion on Michael's sources would be really useful for establishing a consensus. Spartaz Humbug! 05:45, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge into Brad_Anderson_(director).  The sources provided by Michael do indeed mention this future film, but often in a very tangential way.  In any case, the WP:NFF guideline is very clear: until the production starts filming, it should not have its own article.   --Noleander (talk) 23:49, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * No argument here. Enough for a sourced mention in a related article per WP:FUTURE and WP:NFF, but not enough (yet) for a seperate article.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 02:25, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
