Absolutely no source supporting the claim that principle photography has begun, and as a result still fails WP:NFF per the previous discussion. I don't really see the film in the cited webpage [english.entgroup.cn/inproduction/] that's supposed to indicate that principle filming has begun, because I don't think "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons2" is the same film. But even if it is the same film, the webpage clearly says "Pre-production". Also, if it's the same film and the film is allowed to stay, the title should be either Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons 2 or Journey to the West (2017 film) according to that webpage (another reason why it's so bad to create a page for a film before filming has begun).

• @Cattus:, can you give us another source that says that filming has begun? If the page lists the film under a different name (ie, in Chinese) then we'll need to know which title it's under so we can add it to the article. (This is an especially good thing to do since it's also extremely likely that coverage will be under this name, either as a Romanized version of the name or in Chinese writing.)

• I know that there are already some non-English titles on the page, but if the article's title has changed any then this will need to be covered. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:15, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• The film was listed there, but it seems it was removed. Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons 2 is a different film. I searched, but couldn't find another source for principal photography having started. It probably exists in Chinese, but I don't known Chinese. Unless a source is found, I support moving it to Draft.--Cattus ^talk 12:07, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nevermind, just found it. For some reason, it only appears when chosing the letter "G"... As you can see, it says "states" - "filming". --Cattus ^talk 12:15, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• It's probably bringing it up because of the way it's spelled phonetically, where it does start with a G, although it's strange for them to do this when they're listing the English titles. Still, it is there and listed as filming. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:37, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• With due respect, this is not believable in my opinion. Nowadays news article about filming of Chinese films, even low-budget ones, are all over the internet, and this film doesn't have any, because well, filming hasn't begun. If it has begun as claimed, may I ask in which city/province? Timmyshin (talk) 05:00, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - it is showing as currently filming (despite the extra step needed to find it on the website). —Мандичка^YO 😜 08:55, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
