James & Alice

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No sources that confirm that the film is in production, or any other news. Nairspecht (talk) 15:51, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I can only guess that your search skills are limited, as filming is under way and there IS news.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 04:23, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Then my only request to you and other editors of the page is to add those sources of news which ARE apparently present and which talk about the film being under way. I now know that your editing and formatting skills are not limited; keep it up. Best, Nairspecht (talk) 06:13, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you, but I wish to elucidate with two advices: 1) per WP:NOTCLEANUP and WP:DINC, the threat of deletion is not supposed to be used to force improvements by others (that's what cleanup tags are for), and 2), per WP:NRVE, notability is determined by sources being available for use and not in their ever being used. WP:SEP?    Schmidt,  Michael Q. 15:09, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Requesting a page for deletion is not a threat, per se; it just notifies the creator that he/she at least add one or two strong sources just so that the notability can be confirmed. Cleanup tags come to the picture only if there are some sources already cited. So I agree with all the points, and like you, even I want Wikipedia to be filled with authentic, useful articles. Lets end this debate and re-notify the creator to add a source or two, or heck, lets add them ourselves? Shall we? Cheers. Nairspecht (talk) 15:15, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
 * When your initial deletion argument has been refuted through proof being offered of 1) filming having begun and 2) the project getting news... and you agree, but this AFD remains open (despite it being shown that the production meets WP:NFF (paragraph 3)), there still remains the "threat of deletion". However, rather than wait for someone else to do it, I have expanded and sourced to support my own keep opinion, thank you.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 06:51, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
 * That's great; keep contributing.

 * And using some alts:
 * type:
 * director:
 * producer:
 * lead:
 * lead:
 * and per WP:INDAFD: "James & Alice" "Sujith Vasudev" "Krishnan Sethukumar" "Prithviraj Sukumaran" "Vedhika"


 * Keep as the film's production is getting coverage and as Sify tells us that filming is under way: "...currently shooting for Sujith Vaassudev’s James & Alice", WP:NFF (paragraph 3) is met. Wow... who failed in their WP:BEFORE?? It serves the project for this film topic to remain and grow through regular editing.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 04:23, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Update: Others may compare the unsourced stub that was first brought to AFD against what it is now. Thanks.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 01:41, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
