School of Rock 2: America Rocks

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The notability guideline for future films recommends that a film article is not created until principal photography can be confirmed to have begun. This does not exist to ruin anyone's hard work, but for very good, practical reasons. The guideline prevents the creation of film articles the instant a project is announced in Variety or wherever, because experience has shown us that the intention to make a film often does not mean a film will be made. Budget issues, scripting issues, casting issues and scheduling issues can always get in the way of the filmmakers' intentions, and without the guideline, the place would be full of stubby articles about films that were never made, and would thus fail the general notability guideline. Now, sometimes the high profile of a certain projects means that they are more likely to be made than not, but if we made an exception for these then that would only render the guideline toothless. Even "sure things" do not always make it to production (Jurassic Park IV was supposed to have been released in 2005, if the original announcements are to be believed). School of Rock 2, however, is not even in this camp. Little new information has come out since the original spurt of articles in July. No-one's saying the available information can't be included; it's just the best place for it right now is at a parent article, where what little information there is can be placed in the appropriate context.

 * Delete: Per nom, doesn't need merging as already has a duplicated section on the original article's page. Ryan 4314   (talk) 23:34, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Not enough info yet. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 23:44, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to the original film. Clearly not enough info for an article, but the intention to make a sequel is worth mentioning somewhere, especially when it's verified.- Mgm|(talk) 23:51, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * My apologies; I should have provided a link to the "Sequel" section at the parent article, which already contains what verifiable information there is, so there would be no need to perform a merge. In addition, the article is almost a word-for-word copy of that section, yet the history of this article does not credit the original authors, so this is almost certainly a (very minor) violation of the GNU Free Documentation License that Wikipedia operates under.

 * Keep I believe there is enough sourced material here for a stub article. Miami33139 (talk) 01:32, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect - To School of Rock. &mdash; neuro(talk) 03:10, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: I agree with Miami33139. Plenty of room for more information when the movie gets closer to release. JamesBurns (talk) 05:12, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails future film notability; since the subject already has a section in the prequel's article, that's enough for now. Raven1977 (talk) 05:15, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:CRYSTAL. &eta;oian   &Dagger;orever &eta;ew &Dagger;rontiers  06:54, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL etc JBsupreme (talk) 07:05, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:CRYSTAL; sourcing is from non-notable film blogs and the usual vague Variety "It's likely to be made" article. Wait until they actually begin to film.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 12:25, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per the notability guidelines for future films. I don't think WP:CRYSTAL applies because there is verifiable coverage about this project.  However it is just news coverage, which does not guarantee context about the future event.  Besides, information already exists at School of Rock.  No prejudice against recreation if filming is verified to have begun for this planned sequel. — Erik  (talk • contrib) 15:47, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
