The result was Delete, to be recreated as Mary Queen of Scots (2008 film) once filming begins. Lots of movies get "casted", they don't all get "reeled in". (sorry, bad fishing pun). The 1970s Redgrave movie, BTW, does have an article (note the comma) at Mary, Queen of Scots (film). Keeper  |   76   |   Disclaimer  19:00, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Mary Queen of Scots (film)

Explicitly fails future films notability guidelines. No prejudice to recreation when the film is reliably documented to have begun production. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 02:52, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom; announced films don't guarantee actual films. If it begins shooting, revive the article. — Erik  (talk • contrib) - 03:04, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. There was print newspaper coverage of this film, plus at least one magazine article (I believe in the Royal-watching publication "Royalty") on this production. Granted, mostly relating to the casting of Johansson, but if the sources can be found I think that would satisfy the future films notability requirement. If kept, however, the article should be renamed Mary Queen of Scots (2008 film) owing to the existence of the early-1970s film of the same title starring Vanessa Redgrave, which likely will have an article created if one doesn't already exist. 23skidoo (talk) 02:43, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Are you saying it's gone into production, or just that sources exist for casting? Because the latter still fails NFF. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 02:56, 31 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - The notability guidelines for future films stipulate that a stand-alone article for a film should not be created until a project enters production. This is because many factors such as budget issues, scripting issues, and casting issues can interfere with the project. The article can be recreated when principal photography is confirmed to have begun.  Steve  T • C 10:54, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. The articles for Star Trek (2008 film) and Quantum of Solace were created months before either film entered production. Can anyone confirm that production of this film hasn't begun? Unlike the Sunset Blvd film article which apparently mentions it being affected by the WGA strike, I've heard nothing to suggest the strike has affected this film. 23skidoo (talk) 17:43, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * This page says filming is to start April 9 2008. Should that be insufficient, I can provide more. All the best, Steve  T • C 19:10, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

 * In addition, WP:FUTFILMS was set in stone after Star Trek and Quantum of Solace were created, and in the case of the latter, began shooting. Alientraveller (talk) 20:45, 31 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per Erik. Cliff smith (talk) 03:57, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
