The Paperboy (film)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article is for an alleged "future film"; I requested speedy as non-notable, as there are no IMDB or AMG listings and no relevant ghits. Was contested, and "sourced" with two links that are for a different film of the same name (n.b. there are three "notable" films with this name, from 1994, 1998, & 2005). Still no proof of existence, let alone notability. SkierRMH 19:24, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Disambig this should probably not go to any one film, since there are at least three. I'm not seeing any reliable sources for this film yet, but it may have been officially announced somewhere.  It doesn't get  nothing, and many of the sites aren't in English, so for all I know, there's something really convincing as a reliable source to be found.

 * Most of the sites are in Dutch... There is a newsarticle about this film on the 'biggest news-site of Holland': Click
 * It says Paul Verhoeven hasn't contacted any actors yet, but he's almost got his €20,000,000 budget.
 * If you want to know more, you can always use babelfish on the article ;-)

 * Well, your sources work for me. Thus I agree with 'keeping an article on this subject, as it can be adequately sourced. I don't know what the appropriate title will be. FrozenPurpleCube 20:22, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Disambig note: There is already a disambiguation page Paperboy (disambiguation) that includes one film already. Would it be redundant to have two disambig pages for the same (minus the "the") word?  Also, if this is made to a disambig page, the correct title would be either The Paperboy (films) or Paperboy (films). SkierRMH 01:06, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, we can decide where to disambiguate in a lot of ways. Probably The Paperboy should at least redirect to the disambig page.  FrozenPurpleCube 01:42, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete Recreate the page when there is more info. Man It&#39;s So Loud In Here 23:37, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. When the film is released or more specific information is available, it can be recreated as "The Paperboy ([year] film)" to distinguish it from the other films and listed at Paperboy (disambiguation) (where the other films should probably be listed too, as redlinks if there aren't articles for them).

 * I don't see Crystal (1) applying, this event is notable, and even if it doesn't take place, may be notable anyway. FrozenPurpleCube 00:50, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Films notability is pretty clear on this, "Films which have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced shooting should not have their own articles."SkierRMH 01:06, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * And the next sentence says "Until then discussion of the film may be included in articles about the film's subject material" which happens to be well, an existing book.  Perhaps that book should have an article, and the content here merged there?FrozenPurpleCube 01:42, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak delete for now. I didn't know that the same was used for multiple films. This film-to-be still seems to have attracted a fair bit of attention, but nothing very significant. — xDanielx T/C 02:06, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I've found more info about the filming(-locations) of this film... Why delete it if it's for sure this film will be produced? You can always edit the title later to put the release-year in it. And for example; shooting of Azazel also didn't start yet ;-) Vinniebar 14:55, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
