The result was Delete. Consensus is that the film is in the no man's land between pre-production and active shooting, and therefore, in the absence of sources that would otherwise make the project notable, not yet ready for its own article. I will move the article to the incubator.. Xymmax ^{So let it be written} _{So let it be done} 13:03, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Butter (2010 film)

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

This is another example of me being a little on the fence. Though I can find Google hits about this movie, I still feel it violates WP:CRYSTAL because I cannot find any that state the film is even in production (thus, I don't know why the article says 2010). In fact, the article's third reference leads to a link that says casting for the film isn't even done yet. Erpert (let's talk about it) 05:42, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Did I not provide enough references in the article? Genuine question, as I'm not always sure how much to reference. There's over 50 news articles listed on the IMDb page for Butter which reference casting details, production, director, locations and so on. Clearly the movie is in production, but i tried to pick links that were most relevant to the specifics of the article. --Ballhammer (talk) 06:03, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- I guess I'm confused because the IMDb link you added, for example, states the film is being released in 2012. Erpert (let's talk about it) 17:24, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I can't find any link that says filming has started. Some refs say it is in pre production. As WP:NFF says no Principal photography, no article; unless a reference is produced to source filming has begun, this should be deleted (or moved to sandbox to await its time) --Sodabottle (talk) 18:42, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Incubate for a few weeks and bring it back once filming has begun. There is nearly enough coverage of casting and production to tickle at WP:CRYSTAL, but it will be prudent to wait until we have more. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 19:30, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe we should userfy it then? Erpert (let's talk about it) 06:35, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Incubate per MQS and per WP:NFF. Let's make sure that this film is a reality first. Shouldn't be a big deal. Erik (talk) 14:53, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- What do y'all mean by "incubate"? Erpert (let's talk about it) 16:25, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Incubating is a more official approach to userfying, so it does not have to be in someone's userspace. Erik (talk) 16:38, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - And too, incubation is at a location that encourages improvements from many editors, while something in someone's userspace does not usually get the wider input. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 18:36, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
