Return of the Ghostbusters
non-notable fan film that hasn't even been released yet. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, nor is it a place for advertising a film you and your buddies made. IrishGuy talk 01:58, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

 * What does "not a crystal ball" mean? Also, other movies "Promote release" on the site. Matt Mosley 19:01, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I can see that point, honestly. But the film is really only a trailer at the moment--there are other fan films on wikipedia that are nothing but a trailer.  Hanksta2 04:59, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete fanstuff. To Hanksta2, if you'd provide links to those films, I'd be more than happy to put them for AfD as well. Danny Lilithborne 06:10, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP is not a crystal ball. Please see WP:NOTFILM for an idea of what we'd be looking for out a movie article.  True, this is only an essay, but we'd be applying the same general concepts in looking at a book, biography, or company.  Tychocat 09:23, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Revelations is on Wiki. This is the Revelations of Ghostbusters Fanfilm, except it won't suck and it's feature length. It should stay up and be allowed it's poster. BojacRedleif 13:41, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Star Wars: Revelations that'd be Revelations. BojacRedleif 13:43, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Difference is that Revelations was covered by USA Today. It's also a complete film.  ColourBurst 14:57, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Let it come back when/if it's notable. Tonywalton | Talk 14:34, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete if on its release it generates verifiable media interest, then recreate it.--RMHED 14:43, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete for now. Film has not yet been released, but if it becomes notable I have no problem with article recreation. "It won't suck" is hardly a qualifier at the moment, though. FWIW, however, the original Freddy vs. Ghostbusters has no WP page - I don't know if that's a result of a previous AfD or if it never got made. MikeWazowski 16:41, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't believe a Freddy vs Ghostbusters page was ever made. Although it was definetly notable as it was all over the place, it went so far to be British media. (They called them Canadian Youngsters), Bloody-Disgusting.com even said something around "If you ever took the time to download something, this should be it". It won best film at the MicrocinemaFest in South Dakota. It's also on IMDB and if IMDB actually adds a page for it then it's definetly noteworthy. for the record, It will be finished. Hanksta2 was Hank Braxtan who is the director. If you took the time to look at the official page you can cleary see that IT WILL BE FINISHED. Stop with this "If" stuff. You know what, I might just make a Freddy vs Ghostbusters page today BojacRedleif 17:29, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, but not to be protected in the event it is produced. --Dennis The TIger 01:52, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * How do you know if you like an unreleased movie? IrishGuy talk 05:39, 3 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Michael 07:11, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete This movie may turn out to be a major piece of film history in which case it can have an article, but at the moment this is advertisng pure and simple. BTLizard 09:39, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Many Ghostbusters fans will welcome this information. WIkipedia is for public information. This is the first time that I knew about these fan-made Ghostbusters continuations. Googling for "Return of the Ghostbusters" got 56600 finds. Anthony Appleyard 16:26, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * However, the more relevant number is unique hits. As of right now, out of 44,100 returns, I only get 171 unique hits. That's more telling, IMHO. MikeWazowski 06:17, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * What is a "unique hit"? Anthony Appleyard 08:32, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Google is able to detect similar pages and when it displays results that seem to be similar, it automatically hides them. The initial larger number refers to *all* hits, including dynamic pages generated on the fly with potentially duplicate content. The lower number of "unique hits" is the more accurate gauge of how often something is actually referenced on the net. MikeWazowski 14:35, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
