Machete (film)
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Reluctantly placed here after an editorial dispute. Editor refuses to acknowledge the result of the prior AfD, in which the majority of the editors suggested a merge. As per before, this film explicitly fails future film notability guidelines, and should be merged back into Robert Rodriguez (which I did). No prejudice towards recreation when reliable sources indicate that the standalone feature has already begun shooting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Girolamo Savonarola (talk • contribs)  12:36, February 16, 2009

 * I dunno. This one looks like it might meet the general notability guideline (GNG), meaning it could deserve an article even if it's never actually produced.  Powers T 17:08, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: the previous AfD, one month ago, was closed as "Keep" with "No consensus to delete" per the argument now advanced by Powers. If you are having trouble with the merger discussion, I suggest you open an RFC.  If you'd rather delete the article, I suggest you accept the consensus of the recent AfD against that option.

 * I should have suggested putting up a listing at Proposed mergers, if that has not happened already. Baileypalblue (talk) 17:55, 16 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep I agree that the previous AfD closed as keep. That aside, it appears to pass notability anyway. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 17:53, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge (don't mind which) per my nomination first time around. Whether this meets the GNG or not is besides the point; per the basic principles of WP:NFF, a few comments in the media about a film which may or may not go into production is not something tangible enough to warrant it's own article. If it is to be covered on Wikipedia at all, this material belongs elsewhere, such as at Robert Rodriguez. PC78 (talk) 17:58, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The general notability guideline supersedes more specific guidelines. Powers T 18:04, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The GNG does not say that, and in any case is not absolute. We need something more substantial than a bit of media buzz, and this project does not appear to have it. I don't think I can be any clearer on my position than in my comment above. PC78 (talk) 18:25, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge into the Robert Rodriguez article, as per PC78.  Lugnuts  (talk) 18:48, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - disputes over merging belong elsewhere. Artw (talk) 18:50, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
