Nightbitch (film)

Unreleased film that does not meet film notability or general notability. Originator moved it from draft space to article space with comment: "Filming has begun" and a source. There is a myth that a film becomes notable when principal photography begins. In fact, the film notability guideline is poorly written, and has been confusing for more than a decade, but it says that a film is not notable before filming has begun, and that an unreleased film in production is only notable if production itself satisfies general notability. There is nothing in this article that provides significant coverage of the production or release of the film. (It hasn't been released.) A review of the references shows that they are all the usual announcements made about an upcoming film, such as signing of the director and leading lady, and the distribution deal. All of the sources are primary. They are all reliable, but they are mostly reliably promotional.

The article should be moved back into draft space until the film is released, and a redirect should be made to Marielle Heller. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:18, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This could also redirect with history to the book page so that when coverage becomes available, it can be restored. This looks like it's really just a case of needing that last big push - which will likely end up coming about in the form of reviews.
