Draft:Pathaan (film)

This draft is one of multiple reincarnations of articles on a planned big-budget film. This version was created in October 2021 by a sockpuppet, but has been subsequently edited by both good-faith and bad-faith editors, and has been in article space once before being draftified. Other versions have also been in article space. The promoters of the film appear to be trying to confuse the jury with multiple copies of articles. This version was rejected on 7 January 2022, and has since been nominated for deletion, which was No Consensus at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Pathan (film), and has been almost constantly edited by IP addresses, so that its history is confused.

There is now another draft at Draft:Pathaan (2023 film). The (2023) version can be the version that is edited. We don't need two versions in draft space. (We don't need any versions in article space yet.) Robert McClenon (talk) 06:32, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep but merge/redirect Draft:Pathaan (2023 film) into this one. Significant portions of the latest draft have been copied from the old draft without attribution (Eg. Filming section was copied from this version with some minor changes). We don't want to lose the page history of the original contributors and give a pass to likely copyvio page. -- Ab207 (talk) 06:55, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge the two drafts without deletion. We can redirect both draft links to the article when it is formally published. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 01:01, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep in draft until it passes WP:NFF. Redirect newer content forks to the oldest, and ask interested editors to merge from the history. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:06, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge the two drafts. Its not massively unfeasible to presume that a few months away, the article might be notable for the mainspace but it would certainly require a tidy up and better sourcing. >> Lil-unique1  (  talk  ) — 22:10, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge the 2 drafts. The eventual article in main space would likely be named Pathaan (film), as there is no other film of the same name (so, we do not necessarily need the year). In addition, the film, in my opinion, meets notability criteria, since the production itself has become notable (due to significant coverage in multiple media, especially after the release of its teaser).--Dwaipayan (talk) 00:47, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
