Redrafitify as too soon per MOS:FILMSERIES which recommends three films, currently only two have been released for this series with a third planned, it'll be more necessary if the third is released but that's crystal ball. Indagate (talk) 16:04, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep since the third film is in production, so it is across the threshold of being nearly-guaranteed to come out. (In the film industry, until filming starts, the creation of a film is much less certain.) This is why the third film has its own standalone article when it started filming. We'd just be deleting this film series article to bring it back later. Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 16:31, 27 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep: There are two movies released, with the third now in production. This is not at all uncommon to have an article, similar to how the third film has a page (see 's comments). DisneyMetalhead (talk) 04:09, 28 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep: If the third movie has a page, then the series can have a page. If you'd like to delete the third movie's page because of WP:CRYSTAL, then go and do that. Toughpigs (talk) 04:11, 28 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep: While I agree with Indagate's rationale that this is still too soon and technically against the film series MOS, I see no harm in keeping it up now that it is here. That in mind, @DisneyMetalhead, it is typically best practice to have a talk page discussion at one of the main related articles (ie at Talk:Knives Out) BEFORE submitting these types of drafts for an AfC, as AfC is not always aware of the film MOS guidelines, case in point, what we have here. This article is definitely in need of major ref additions and cleanup throughout, which probably should have been squared away before a move, though those can always be rectified.

 * Expansion and/or additional refs/details can be added at any point in time. I did not think it would be controversial at all to create a film article about the collective details of the film series as a whole. DisneyMetalhead (talk) 04:46, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep Third film is already in production and has it's own article. Upcoming films incredibly rarely get canned once they've began shooting. If the third film itself can already have an article I see no guideline reason why the film series can not.★Trekker (talk) 23:34, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep: Deleting the article for a film series with two movies out and a third actively filming seems a bit hasty. Many series follow this pattern. The third movie even has its own page!  Filming has already begun, which makes cancellation very unlikely in the industry.  Waqar 💬  17:23, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
