Spy Movie

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

this cites no source apart from a just-issued magazine, and I can find no reliable confirmation. Nothing in IMDb. Fails WP:NFF. (Argument from JohnCD on removed prod) This entry also fails WP:CRYSTAL. Thor Malmjursson (talk) 16:53, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - there is nothing about it on the "news" page of the magazine's website. There is nothing in IMDb and nothing relevant in Google. Possible hoax? Anyway, lacks the reliable source to confirm that shooting has started required by WP:NFF. 17:02, 31 August 2008 (UTC)JohnCD (talk)
 * Delete per above: no verification that shooting has started. Cliff smith  talk  17:51, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep pending additional sources. Total Film is a major magazine and the fact it was "just issued" is an invalid rationale for disqualifying it as a source. There is no time limit on Wikipedia except for BLP issues (and I just deleted a section from the article that was completely unsourced and BLP-violating). I suggest closing this for a few weeks to allow other sources to come forward. If none do, then perhaps this can be revisted. 23skidoo (talk) 01:08, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong delete Per above --99.175.75.9 (talk) 03:11, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Article should be done away with until proper sources can be found. The "references" section is pure speculation at most, and even without that there isn't enough info out right now for this to have an article. Bloodbath 87 (talk) 012:32, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Comment I have requested semi-protection as the article is being heavily vandalised and the AfD template removed by a number of IPs. JohnCD (talk) 13:44, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice. An incredible amout of opionionated activity from anonymous IP's for an article that is essentially a one-source single sentence about a rumoured future film. With respects to User:Blehfu, no problem it being returned when it has better sourcing to show that filming has actually commenced or finished per WP:NFF and WP:NF.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 19:21, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Struck the "without prejudice" as hoax is suspected. Google Search 1 found nothing. Google Google searh 2 brought up a couple blog entries based upon the wiki article. Cannot find a WP:V that even speculates about the film.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 22:21, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment The only source this page cites is Total Film magazine, to which I happen to be a subscriber. I am holding the September edition in my hand now and it says nothing of the sorts on page 67, in fact page 67 is the title page for a feature on British Celebrities. Plus, it would be unlikely for such small film news to be featured that far into the magazine as it tends to put all of it's news about announced and upcoming films at the beginning of the magazine.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.21.60.42 (talk) 01:50, 3 September 2008 (UTC)  (comment copied here from article's talk page - JohnCD (talk) 06:57, 3 September 2008 (UTC))

 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL and considering that the Total Film reference is "misinterpreted" or plain wrong, according to 86.21.60.42. — 97198 (talk) 07:34, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
