An unreleased film by a non-notable film production company fails WP:NFF "Additionally, films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines." Wikipedia should not be used as a billboard for marketing or promotion. GSS 💬 02:49, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Kailash29792: WP:GNG doesn't apply here especially when there are separate guidelines for the subject type and the policy for unreleased films at WP:NFF is very clear that "if the production company isn't notable unreleased film should not have their own articles". Wikipedia is not a billboard. GSS 💬 04:41, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Notable film with plenty of sources and is to be released soon. This film is releasing in August, so it shouldn't be considered as unreleased. WP:NFF does not apply here because there are sources in the article that indicate that the film is in post-production. TamilMirchi (talk) 17:32, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This is literally a copy and paste comment of the above !vote and you must be kidding that NFF doesn't apply when it does because the film is not yet released. Also, what you mean by "This film is releasing in August, so it shouldn't be considered as unreleased." are you out of your mind? GSS 💬 17:40, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Kailash29792: Why it was even moved out of draftspace at first place when it wasn't ready? GSS 💬 12:11, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
GSS, because TamilMirchi felt it was ready. I think you're only wanting this article deleted because the film hasn't yet released and the production company isn't notable (well, why are there so many MCU drafts like Thor: Love and Thunder?) Please assess the article after my latest edit and tell me. If you feel it's not good enough, I'll move it back to the draftspace. Kailash29792 (talk) 12:19, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
We have polices to deal with such feelings. I looked at the edits you made recently and they do not satisfy NFF. GSS 💬 14:26, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or Redirect The article is fine and meets WP:GNG. The last update regarding the release of the film was in June 2020 and I agree that we don't find more updates from other sources. Or at least redirect this article until any development rather than deleting it. Abishe (talk) 14:11, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Abishe: I can understand the reason for redirect, but can you explain "keep"? according to which policy? As you already know that the film is yet to release and GNG doesn't apply in such cases. GSS 💬 14:17, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@GSS: I am aware of the fact that the article has some issues with meeting notability guidelines and it is unable to cite more sources to verify the release and production of the film. I saw some sources like Newsminute and The Hansindia which included that LockUp is confirmed to be released via the Zee5 platform alongside few upcoming films like Danny. So it implies that the production and post production of the film have been fully completed (which can be evident with the poster released by ZEE5). So in case if it still looks weird then I prefer to keep as a redirect target to Zee5. Abishe (talk) 14:34, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Abishe: As I said above, the last paragraph of NFF state "Additionally, films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines." so since the production company for this film isn't notable we can't have the article at this point. Do you mind reconsidering your !vote? GSS 💬 14:48, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It is my mistake for creating the article. Kindly move it back to a draft. TamilMirchi (talk) 16:12, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
TamilMirchi, done as suggested. GSS, please close the AfD. Kailash29792 (talk) 16:15, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
