This article consists largely of speculation about a season that has yet to begin filming. It contains information which may or may not turn out to be true. Not appropriate per WP:FUTURE. This is a case of WP:TOOSOON, article should be created when real information becomes available. Basic confirmed details can be posted to American Horror Story for the time being.

Keep: The article contains lots of information specific to the second season, which would not be useful on the American Horror Story article because it does not pertain to the series as a whole. Everything that needs sourcing is, from reliable third party publications, and more information is becoming available all the time. SchrutedIt08 (talk) 07:47, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: This is ridiculous. The page contains as much information on the second season as is known and is regularly updated. No speculation whatsoever. Why don't you want Game of Thrones (season 3) or The Walking Dead (season 3) deleted..? Let Me Eat Cake (talk) 12:22, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You can nominate them for deletion if you think they don't meet WP policy. See WP:AFD. "Other stuff exists" isn't generally considered a good argument, because Wikipedia is far from perfect and there are always lots of bad articles. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:39, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Compared to all the post-upfront new season articles that have been populating AfD, this one has its ducks in a row. Plenty of good sourcing for what is an unusual series that isn't carrying over their season one concept. Nate • (chatter) 04:52, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - It's maybe a little early, but it's sourced, it's going to get released, and it's not speculation and there's info on it. Easy keep. Shadowjams (talk) 09:22, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Series creator Ryan Murphy has revealed the setting and the time in which the season will be set, and many notable people have been cast. Like others have said, it's regularly updated and no speculation is found within the article. Also, as SchrutedIt08 has said, this series (and its seasons) is an anthology, meaning each season is different and a global "mention" in the main series article will not do justice to the seasons. — WylieCoyote (talk) 03:04, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - It seems that this clearly passes WP:CRYSTAL and WP:TOOSOON. These aren't rumors, there are reliable sources to draw from, it is a future event, but there is no extrapolation used in anything stated in this article. Roodog2k (talk) 17:15, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
