The result was redirect to Major Matt Mason. Consensus is that it's too soon to have this article - filming has not even begun. As such, this is a selective merge and redirect (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 11:20, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Major Matt Mason (film)

[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A film that has yet to begin shooting. It currently doesn't have a confirmed director. It currently doesn't have a finished script. Movie has been in various states of production since 2009. Prod was contested because, "while it hasn't been released yet, it does appear to have enough coverage in general notability guidelines." Irregardless of GNG, it fails WP:NFF Bgwhite (talk) 23:59, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge this content (but not the infobox) to a "Planned film" section of Major Matt Mason. Given the quote from Graham Yost in one of the most recent sources ("Yeah. Who knows what's going to happen with that, because Tom is very busy now acting in a bunch of things. . . . So we'll see if it happens."[1] it would be very difficult to contend that this project is a "sure thing" to become an actual film. I note that the film was mentioned in earlier versions of the toy article, and am not sure why the creator of this article thought it was appropriate to delete that mention[2] rather than linking it to xis new article, but be that as it may, the additional content and sources created for this film article are worthy of inclusion in the article about the toy.--Arxiloxos (talk) 00:59, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect and partial merge to Major Matt Mason as suggested above. The topic of this planned 3D film has enough sourcability to, per policy, at least be mentioned in that article... even though, per the guideline for unmade films, it's far Too Soon for a separate article.

Merge and/or partial redirect to parent article. Too much of a WP:CRYSTAL event to have a standalone article. Shearonink (talk) 22:26, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I believe tis article meets the guidelines for general notability. The sources look like enough to me to support an independent article. But if others think not this is surely worth a brief mention in the toys article and a redirect or merge makes sense. Could this be one of the allowable exceptions to WP:NFF, you know, I think maybe this could be a close call. --116.87.23.71 (talk) 07:50, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't really know, but isn't there like enough coverage on this movie for it to deserve it's own article? It seems quite for certain that this movie is going to come to fruition, based on some of the sources I can find[3]. I can find lots of citations. It passes WP:NFF, right? I would say yes, according to policy on future events. It also meets WP:GNG too, don't you agree? Bonkers The Clown (talk) 08:03, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge based on the guidance from WP:NFF which identifies that films that have not commenced principal photography should not have their own article. No prejudice to recreation when it meets the guidelines for inclusion as a standalone article. -- Whpq (talk) 15:30, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment a redirect and merge can be easily undone Rich Farmbrough, 01:23, 30 May 2012 (UTC).[reply]
Keep though is my mild preference here, as the material could be swamped in the target article, and GNG seems to have been met. Rich Farmbrough, 01:23, 30 May 2012 (UTC).[reply]
