Prince (2022 Tamil film)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

currently fails WP:NFILM with no meaningful coverage and several months til release. PRAXIDICAE🌈 15:23, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Film and India. Shellwood (talk) 15:32, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: As per nominator, too soon for an article.  Ravensfire  (talk) 01:29, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Draftify It seems like a waste to delete a start article for a movie that will open in 4 months. Any way we could draftify the article and do a move protect? Liz Read! Talk! 01:58, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Draftify per WP:ATD-I until it's shown to meet NFILM requirements. May be move protected as Liz pointed out. -- Ab207 (talk) 06:27, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete since a draft already exists. -- Ab207 (talk) 08:15, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: The draft that used to be at Draft: Prince (2022 Tamil film) had citations added with tons of references ranging from project launch to the final stages of filming right before the other user moved the previous version of the page to this current article. What my thought is that we recover the older version which had all of these and then replace this article with those contents after the AfD. I would like user to comment on this approach.

 * I think you are referring to this version of the draft. Seems that it's more developed than this page, so I restored the draft before it was redirected to this page.
 * My understanding is that has created this duplicate page without any sources to circumvent draftification (done first by, later by ). To fix this issue,  has redirected the original draft to this page, even though that was more developed.
 * So I think keeping original draft and deleting this duplicate page would be a better option. -- Ab207 (talk) 15:18, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * That doesn't change the issue, which is that it has been repeatedly created in mainspace and there is no evidence that it currently meets WP:NFILM. So if that changes, then we can discuss but in the mean time, I think the AFD should continue on the basis that we can't predict the future and outside of "x is filming" and "x is in the film" there is no meaningful coverage of the film itself and there isn't guaranteed to be any.

 * I believe my comment is well within the purview of this AfD to decide the fate of this page. The original draft which was being developed by SP013 was boldly redirected this page, putting it at the risk of deletion. Unlike the article, the draft didn't have to meet any NFILM requirements. If anyone is of the opinion that even the draft shouldn't exist, it can be nominated to WP:MfD. -- Ab207 (talk) 15:47, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I didn't say anything about deleting the draft, so I'm really not sure what your point is. No one is requiring the current draft to be deleted as a result of this AFD. PRAXIDICAE🌈 15:52, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I think what Ab207 is trying to say is that after this duplicate page is deleted the draft that was in place should be moved to Prince (2022 film) since it has enough content to meet the WP:NFILM requirements. SP013 (talk) 16:14, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * While the draft is better, I don't think it meets WP:NFF yet, needs a lot more work before coming to mainspace. -- Ab207 (talk) 16:39, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * "That doesn't change the issue, which is that it has been repeatedly created in mainspace": This prompted me give a further explanation as I wasn't trying to change the issue. My apologies if there's any misunderstanding but I have seen the all the redirected drafts being deleted as a result of AfD, so I felt the need to clarify that. -- Ab207 (talk) 16:36, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: Doesn't have a notable production [yet], thus failing WP:NFF; which is why I draftified the original version in one of the variants. Either way, the draft Draft:Prince (2022 Tamil film) (ignoring the dab) is almost identical to this article. It could be improved upon, better sourced and then could be moved to mainspace when it attains notability. Draftifying this while we already have another version is just redundant — DaxServer (t · m · c) 16:51, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per NFF and DaxServer. A draft for this upcoming film already exists.  Jip Orlando (talk) 19:07, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
