- Strong Keep; Salman Khan's film aren't the usually cancelled or shelved, especially in past few years., And I disagree with WP:TOOSOON, as Brad Pitt starrer F1 (film) is set to release in June 2025, while Sikandar is confirmed to release in March 2025. I suggest review on this. bɑʁɑqoxodaraP (talk) 19:50, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- This is the review that you suggest. The news sources that I linked suggest that shooting has begun, passing the first part of WP:NFF, but I wont give a bolded opinion because I think that our standards for anything to do with the film world are too lax. I would say that same if I was commenting on the Brad Pitt film. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:15, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- If you compare the two articles, F1 has a much more developed production section, with significantly more information, more sources and more than enough to show the production itself is notable, meeting NFF. Ravensfire (talk) 20:29, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Draft: This does not meet WP:NFF as there isn't enough to show the production itself is notable. A handful of standard publicity pieces and basic information doesn't meet that criteria. Move to draft until the production section is better developed with good sources. Ravensfire (talk) 20:28, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Draftify Find some neutral and non-churny sources, please; the 'poster' image (which isn't even a poster) is also out because it was literally ripped off the film's Twitter account. We also can't concievably compare the production track of a large-scale Hollywood action film about auto racing to whatever this is (that we don't have a plot to, mind you).

- Draftify The F1 (film) comparison is useful in showing the kind of sourced information that we'd need to meet WP:NFF—details about the production history and distribution. Right now it's primarily announcements about development and pre-production since production only began recently. hinnk (talk) 00:27, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Draftify: Fails WP:NFF as there isn't enough to show the production notablity. Charliehdb (talk) 04:43, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Draftify. This is another case of a movie article created way ahead and has not even reached post-production stage. Too early to have an article in namespace. RangersRus (talk) 12:25, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Can you please highlight where in Wikipedia:Notability (films) it says that a film article should not be created until it has reached the post production stage? Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 07:11, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Procedural keep: Not a valid reason to nominate an article for deletion WP:DEL-REASON. WP:TOOSOON is an essay that does not supersede the notability guideline/criterion for future films WP:NFF. Principal photography is confirmed in multiple reliable sources. [1], [2], [3] and [4] Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 06:55, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The production section has been significantly expanded, which now addresses all the Draftify arguements above. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 19:58, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- There's no question the expansion you've done clearly shows that the production itself is notable, which is what I look for in upcoming film articles. Thank for that. I will be striking my draft comment and adding one to keep the article thanks to your efforts. Ravensfire (talk) 23:30, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
