The Devil Inside (film)

No indication of how this might meet WP:NF. Only reference is to IMDB. Article fails WP:NFF and WP:FUTURE. RadioFan (talk) 16:44, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete under Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. No sources to speak of, to say it will be notable someday is trying to tell the future. Dennis Brown (talk) 17:57, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - It's not crystal balling to say that the movie does exist it just haven't been screened yet. IMDb is a good source to begin with as it gathers 72 news articles about the subject and clearly shows that it is sold to 8 other countries other than the USA. It means a worldwide coverage and that it is an international movie not just a cable TV production. Worth enough.  Lajbi  Holla @ me  •  CP  21:13, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep The article passes WP:N and there are a plethora of sources outside IMdB on the film that can be used to ameliorate the article. I hope this helps. With regards, AnupamTalk 21:29, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep per meeting the general notability guideline; I'm finding various sources in Google. RadioFan, you need to look outside the Wikipedia article itself to determine if the topic is notable. A topic can be notable but not have enough references within the Wikipedia article, which means that there needs to be cleanup through using these outside references and expanding the article.

 * Speedy Keep per inadvertant errors in nomination statement reflecting perhaps a lack of WP:BEFORE and misunderstanding of pertinant policy and guideline. To the nominator, and with respects, a topic's notability is not to be judged by an article's current state, but rather by the actual avaiablility and quality of reliable sources that deal with the topic, even if NOT in the article. And, as shown by those above, topic notability was easy to establish. Further, WP:FUTURE specifically DOES allow and encourage discussion of future events, just so long as the event is properly sourced and the information about the topic does not contain unsourcable speculation or original research. And toward WP:NFF, please understand that a completed film, with imminent release,  that has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, IS allowed by that guideline.  This is explained at WP:FFCLARIFY.   Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 03:52, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Ease up on the judgement on the nominator would you?  WP:BEFORE is difficult with such a common title. How about a little WP:BURDEN on the page creator?   I'm going to withdraw this based on the plethora of excellent sources several editors have mentioned here (but give no examples of) and look forward to seeing this article improved.--RadioFan (talk) 01:06, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
