Bhaag Milkha Bhaag

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

Per WP:NFF, no sources to confirm that film has started. In fact, one says that Farhan Akhtar, the lead actor will start developing his looks in January 2012. X.One ^SOS 12:39, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: As per WP:NFF, filming is yet to begin. -- Karthik Nadar 12:54, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. As such, I'm a newbie to film articles, but Bhaag Milkha Bhaag has received a fair amount of press due to its biographical nature, as can be seen in this. Normally I would agree with WP:NFF, but I think an exception could be applied here, and WP:GNG can rule over this. However one may also agree that news coverage is not all that extensive, and hence the Weak. Lynch 7 13:12, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Farhan Akhtar till we can find instances of ongoing shooting OR Delete. Both are fine. X.One ^SOS 13:29, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Ofcourse the WP:NFF is a good policy to delete this, but there are many google links coming on this search. Also the uncertainty with the film's release would remain till the film releases. Libaas is an example of one such film which didnt release since 1988 due to censorship issues. & in that case and also in any case, having a nascent article like this keeps catching all necessary things at right time. Thus making it simpler to expand. Else small things during the making will be lost. The references provided so far seems fair to keep the article going. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 14:19, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Move: Revoting to suggest move of the article from public space to User Space instead of deleting. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 09:30, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NFF. There is no certainty that the film will ever be made and the article can always be recreated when filming does start. --regentspark (comment) 15:16, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Wp:NFF by moving to user space till its principal photography commences. AshLin (talk) 16:16, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as above; film still seems to be in the developmental stage so is just speculation at this stage. Betty Logan (talk) 16:48, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The pre production work has began and according to Ehsaan Noorani, they've began composing music - and Farhan has repeatedly confirmed that he's doing the project up next post Don 2 release. So far from speculative IMO Ravingranter (talk) 17:06, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Starting pre-production is not the same as starting principal photography; WP:NFF expressly states Films that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles. Betty Logan (talk) 18:06, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But doesnt one of the reference give us the reason why the filming hasnt started? We can wait till that time passes. The current day is certainly as where filming wont be done. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 19:09, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The question is not why the filming hasn't started. WP:NFF is a part of WP:NF. So, coverage in a newspaper is not sufficient to say that "budget issues, scripting issues and casting issues will not interfere with the project." X.One ^SOS 07:36, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well.... i will just revote to Move it insead of keeping or deleting.-Animeshkulkarni (talk) 09:30, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You can store the info in your computer or something? X.One ^SOS 11:16, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am quite sure Animesh means Wikipedia:Userfication. Lynch 7 11:26, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, the redirect must be deleted otherwise it is pointless to a guideline like WP:NFF. X.One ^SOS 11:32, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah! I meant something like User:Animeshkulkarni/Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. But i dont understand these redirect things & all. If you mean instead of moving the page to User area we should delete this & instead create a separate page in user area so that it doesnt have any links, thats okay too. Saving on PC is not very helpful. In user space, at least someone will be able to edit it. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 11:49, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
