 * Keep I agree with TPH, but it was announced as a going project for the 2012-13 TV season and has sources (both neutral and 'OMG this is the end of Western animation!') to prove it and it's about as bare a stub as we can do for now.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 06:53, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Switch to Delete GS and Rymaltz have good points here and they're right; I'm usually not welcoming of articles created before the upfronts of the next year and we have a mention of it in the SMcF article and guidance template, so that's all we need for now. Delete without prejudice to later creation when it has a known timeslot and episodes in the bank. Also looked more through the history and have concerns because of the article creator, who has a deep talk page filled with warnings for jumping the gun on articles.

 * Comment. I haven't had a chance to look at the sources yet so I'm not sure what to make of this at this point, but bear in mind that according to WP:N, notability is not temporary. If we intend to delete the article in case the show does not air, then the show was never notable enough in the first place and the article should be deleted right now with no prejudices towards its re-creation if/when the show airs.

 * Delete - It seems a bit too soon to give this one an article; it violates WP:CRYSTAL as the nominator stated-- Groovy Sandwich  21:11, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
 * While it's certainly in development, a lot of things can happen between now and then which would turn it into a non-notable topic: the network could decide not to proceed with the project, McFarlane could abandon it or die, the world could blow up, and on and so forth. It is indeed a WP:CRYSTAL violation even though the article as written doesn't actually make any unsourced claims — all we know at this point is that Seth MacFarlane is working on a Flintstones reboot that might premiere in 2013. I agree with Nate's principle that a proposed TV series should never have its own article until it's actually been officially unveiled at an upfronts presentation — because if anything happens to kill the project in the meantime, then we'll have to come back and delete it anyway. Delete, although obviously without prejudice against recreation if and when the series actually gets picked up. Bearcat (talk) 03:00, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Too soon for an article. The show is two years away and a lot of things could change. --Caldorwards4 (talk) 20:52, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete One issue that people are ignoring is that the project could be delayed to 2014 or later. We do not really know it will come out in 2013 so giving it a year seems to be looking into the future in a way we can not.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:38, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
