Oz and the Wicked Witches

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Per WP:NFF, completely unverified content on a film that has yet to enter pre-production or even exist in any form. In fact, a simple query on any search engine shows no results for a film of that name, failing WP:GNG. ~ Jedi94  ( talk ) 21:59, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete I found this at NPP and thought it was kind of weird but I never got back to it. I agree with the nominator that it seems to be a hoax. No film with that name appears to be even planned. § FreeRangeFrog croak 22:12, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete No sources or credibility. Ramaksoud2000 (Talk to me) 22:18, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

 * PER WP:BEFORE, PLANNED SEQUEL IS NOT A HOAX:


 * Delete for now per TOO SOON. The topic of a sequel to  Oz the Great and Powerful  is credible, has been announced, and is in pre-production and if one actually looks with proper search parameters, one can find the possible sequel being discussed in reliable sources...IE: MTV News  The Sun Variety and one can find confirmation of signed cast in First Showing and the fact that the character of Dorothy Gale is not to appear (yet) in this sequel in Slashfilm and Sam Raimi has declined to direct in Bleeding Cool but as this sequel is still in pre-production and title is still unconfirmed, this possible sequel can be spoken of and sourced for now at  Oz the Great and Powerful . HOWEVER, this topic may well and sometime soon merit being an exception to WP:NFF... just not quite yet.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 07:04, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Oz the Great and Powerful already contains a section about a sequel, but it's very speculative (i.e. gossip or yet be decided) and the name isn't definite so a redirect doesn't make sense. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:24, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, too soon to have its own article. Also no significant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. — Joaquin008  ( talk ) 09:47, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per the notability guidelines for future films since this project is only in development. We use the start of filming as a threshold for the creation of a stand-alone article because it is at that point highly likely to be a topic of enduring notability. Before that threshold, production is not guaranteed, and nor is enduring notability when it is based on forward-looking news coverage, which routinely reports the (film) news of the day—different from the permanent approach that this encyclopedia takes. Per WP:CRYSTAL, discussion about a possible future film is proper to include in some form, and that is done in the "Sequel" section at Oz the Great and Powerful since discussion is mainly heightened based on that recently released blockbuster.
