 * Redirect to Yorgos Lanthimos until principal filming begins per WP:NFF. Until filming begins there is no film, regardless of who's signed on to the project. Once the film exists then mentioning the award it garnered will be appropriate, but in the meantime the existing mention on Lanthimos's page is sufficient. -- El Hef  ( Meep? ) 04:38, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Userify as WP:TOOSOON, a bit better than WP:CRYSTAL but still not acceptable, despite its award. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:36, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect/merge to Yorgos Lanthimos where it is already written of as winning awards for its screenplay. Not quite enough yet for the future film for it to be an exception to WP:NFF and we do have a decent place to redirect. let it be spun out, undeleted, or recreated after filming and a lot more coverage of its production.

 * Comment: The article says shooting is scheduled to begin on March 24, 2014. Is it really worth the complications of deleting, redirecting, and/or merging when it will be eligible for re-creation in two weeks? - Dravecky (talk) 02:43, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
