The Menu (upcoming film)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

per WP:NFF, the source used to indicate that filming has begun predates the film start date by a month! We need a source that actually indicates that filming has started, not that the scheduled start date has passed. This should be in the draft space until coverage is provided AND production has been shown to be notable. The passage of a filming start date does not magically make a film notable BOVINEBOY 2008 23:16, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep: when the source was first published is fundamentally irrelevant. The source is of a casting call issued by the production specifying when people working as actors in the film are needed to work. The production has been made notable through the coverage of the castings. On another note I find it highly inappropriate that deletion discussions are formed for these issues when an RFC over whether it should be draftified or not should be issued. You risk the content as a whole being deleted when it doesn’t need to be. At all. Rusted AutoParts  23:39, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Per WP:NFF " Sources must be used to confirm the start of principal photography after shooting has begun." So the publishing date of the source does matter according to our guidelines. Also, I find it inappropriate bypassing the AfC process by just moving the article to the mainspace without submitting it for review. Especially when the creator of the draft is the one attempting to publish it. I can certainly consider using RfC in the future, this does seem like another approach.

 * I don’t see the need for an AFC process when the article meets the criteria to satisfy NFF. The filming start was stated in a production authorized casting call and a dive onto social media shows me that extras selected for that casting call had begun filming. But they aren’t the cites we can use. We can use that casting call, because when it was published just does not matter as it's direct info from the production itself.

 * Keep – several sources have stated that filming would begin by September 6 (see Production List). A recent report from Los Angeles Times said the lead actress would work on The Menu before moving onto Furiosa (the latter began filming in August).

 * Again, my concern is that none of these have actually stated that production has begun. They all predate September 6. BOVINEBOY 2008 09:27, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
