This is a speculative article about an unpublished book. It appears to be mainly WP:OR and WP:SYNTH Rvert (talk) 04:16, 12 October 2023 (UTC) Relisting comment: Editors have agreed that redirecting is the best outcome, but it isn't clear where the redirect should target. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris talk! 19:55, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect for now to Quentin Tarantino or to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood until publication details are confirmed, which includes the title (is it not The Man Who Would Be McQueen: The Films cf Rick Dalton, after all?). There are too many reliable sources that deal with this upcoming (or not) book to simply delete the page, I find. PS- Also, I would recommend re-redirecting Rick Dalton, which redirects to the page, to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.- My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)  07:45, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Draftify - It likely will be notable in the future, even if it is not notable now. (Oinkers42) (talk) 18:09, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment. No point in moving to draft, unless it is clear notability-proving sources are going to be available within six months. Redirect is more likely to preserve the material. Espresso Addict (talk) 04:03, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment If the consensus is to redirect, then it should be to Quentin Tarantino's unrealized projects where the info already exists. Agreed, Rick Dalton, should redirect to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Rvert (talk) 03:55, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * I could see this as a brief subsection in the article about the first film, most is speculative in non-RS. Oaktree b (talk) 20:13, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * "The first film"? You mean Once Upon a Time in Hollywood? The Films of Rick Dalton is a book . - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)  15:31, 25 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - While there are a couple of possible targets, its section in the article for the film the book was spun out from makes the most sense to me, as it provides the most context for what the book actually is meant to be. If the book is eventually released and becomes notable enough to be covered in its own article, then it really needs to be reworked quite a bit from this current attempt, which has way to much in-universe cruft.

 * I am persuaded by the above analysis and have put a strikethrough on my earlier suggestion to help achieve a clearer consensus. Therefore the redirect target should now be Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Rvert (talk) 04:15, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. If User:Oinkers42 considers agreeing with that, and assuming Oaktree b indeed meant what I think he meant (see above), it seems a consensus has been reached. - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)  15:34, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
