Transformers 4

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Correctly listing AFD. Only doing this because I noticed the page, would assume delete due to lack of sources and per usual custom for unknown films  Chil dzy  ¤  Ta lk  01:40, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
 *  Speedy Delete : Merge & Redirect (per refs added, but falling short as per Schmidt below) CSD would seem more appropriate (might even get tempted to) - crystal ball article, lacks refs (editor should work in userspace FIRST) Widefox (talk) 01:43, 25 April 2012 (UTC) Widefox (talk) 11:42, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I was going to list for speedy, purely added here because someone had only half added to AFD  Chil dzy  ¤  Ta lk  01:46, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Even if predictive and failing guidelines for unmade films, films are generally not speediable. This AFD was the proper course.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 19:53, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - I have declined a speedy as blatant hoax because it isn't that, there are rumours about this, but we don't do rumours and per WP:NFF it is too soon for an article. JohnCD (talk) 13:14, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
 * switch to Redirect to Transformers: Dark of the Moon per below - probably the best way to prevent continual creation of rumour-based articles. JohnCD (talk) 08:53, 27 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete for now until there is an official announcement of the release. The details for the release should come from reliable sources and not from rumors in the internets. --Enric Naval (talk) 15:00, 25 April 2012 (UTC) Merge and redirect, due to sources found by Schmidt. --Enric Naval (talk) 01:34, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
 *  Delete Merge/redirect, per below.  EW  i kist Talk 00:37, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge with the article on the series as a whole. It was announced 2 months ago, and what is known is that its current release date is June 27, 2014 and that Michael Bay is directing. The outside source cited states that his description of the plot is fair. We don't need this much information (or possibly even have that much information) until more concrete details come out.JIMfoamy1 (talk) 15:40, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge whatever is sourcable and Redirect to Transformers (film series) OR Transformers: Dark of the Moon per policy instruction for such premature articles. Growing availability of information about a 4th in the series means this topic is not unsourcable, even if the current article lacks use of them, so we can best place the information where readers might expect to find it until we're ready for the article's return.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 19:53, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
 * When I checked out the article for Transformers: Dark of the Moon, it already seemed to have all of the sourced information from this article (basically just the release date and director). I definitely agree that this would be best suited as a redirect for now, with new information being placed in the other articles until there is enough to sustain an independent page.
