The Host (2013 film)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Per WP:NFF, this article cannot exist until principal filming begins (which may be next month, maybe); even then, it isn't supposed to have an article unless the production itself has been covered extensively in reliable sources. Most of the sources in the article are only borderline reliable, if at all. Qwyrxian (talk) 05:02, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Speedy redirect to The Host (novel) per WP:NFF until topic notable in its own right. --Rob Sinden (talk) 14:59, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Note: I have no problem leaving behind a redirect. I expected resistance from the article creator, so I figured a deletion discussion was the best way to be sure. Qwyrxian (talk) 22:18, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

I'll just start a new page WHEN principal photography starts on February 13, 2012. Go ahead and delete this page, you'll see the exact same one back here in about three weeks, so I really don't see the point. User:Thehost1212 (talk) 00:29, 24 January 2012 (EST)
 * If you do, I'll ask for it to be deleted again. WP:NFF says that films in production can only have articles after principal photography starts AND when the production itself is notable. None of the references provided so far provide any sense of notability to the production--all they do is establish who's directing and starring in the movie.

 * I recieved your message earlier, and to answer your question, no I am not professionally attached to the movie. I am just a fan of the book, and of the upcoming movie, and thought that it needed some recognition. I have also provided two other sources that show when principal photography will start, and that also shows when the movie is going to be released. In addition to that, I have provided an external link to the IMDB page for the movie. I consider all my sources to be reliable, and I WILL start a new page the day that principal photography starts, if this one gets deleted. I don't understand why you're wasting your time on this when you don't need to be, but I guess that doesn't matter. User:Thehost1212 (talk) 02:44, 24 January 2012 (EST)
 * You're not understanding: it still won't be notable after photography starts. Qwyrxian (talk) 09:44, 24 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Why won't it be notable? User:Thehost1212 (talk) 15:55, 24 January 2012 (EST)
 * It might be notable, but I think the point that Qwyrxian is making is that a film isn't automatically notable just because filming starts, notability still needs to be established through significant coverage in reliable sources. --Rob Sinden (talk) 10:27, 25 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Speedy Redirect. Per the above.--Epeefleche (talk) 02:51, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
