Despite working on the article and being excited for the film, I have now realized that WP:NFF is probably in effect here, as the film has not yet been confirmed to have commenced principal photography. Perhaps it can be drafted for the time being, though.

Also a note for anyone who saw the previous template: I confused one of the AfD templates for the current one that is up. The previous AfD template did not make it so a discussion page was open. I do not think it screwed anything up, but if it did, please let me know via my talk page so I can better learn what to do in the future, and I apologize in advance.

I have withdrawn my nomination for deletion, I have switched to draftify. Also, I am an idiot who had no idea what I was doing when I tried to close the article’s discussion, I was wrong to do that. This was a huge learning experience, and I apologize for the inconveniences I caused, I should’ve been more careful.

Hello, I am the creator of this article. I'd heavily advise deleting my article, but if you wish to not have in public view, change it into a draft, please. Also, the film is likely already in principal photography as several articles have stated that filming will begin in the summer of 2023. Like I said, the film is likely in a quiet development phase, so let's just let it be. Thank you. TheEpicApartmentLord (talk) 19:25, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No source has confirmed that it is in principal photography though. Also, Kane (the director) said in a live stream two weeks ago that the final draft of the script was done. So as far as we are concerned, it hasn't even begun pre-production. The Deadline article said filming would take place during summer as a joke due to Kane being in high school at the time.

What kind of news company lies about basic information? Oh right, everyone basically. Well, I think this article should stay up for people to get actual updates and basic information. If it's not ready, don't erase it, just turn it into a draft. TheEpicApartmentLord (talk) 19:39, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It definitely is not filming. The line you are referring to about filming in the summer very much reads as a joke given his age. No lies were stated. No casting was ever announced, no announcement filming had begun was announced, nothing since the initial announcement. "If it's not ready, don't erase it, just turn it into a draft" it very much isn't ready to be in the mainspace, which is why I created a draft for it last year. It is linked down below, and frankly you would've been informed it existed when you intiated creating this page. They put in a big red banner up at the top of the page whether the topic had a draft article or not. We do not need two drafts about the same topic. So deletion is appropriate.

Comment is there any particular reason why a discussion that is, to date, between two major contributors to the article AND doesn't advocate deletion, only dratification, is at AfD instead of the talk page? Jclemens (talk) 23:44, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:NFF no production news since first announcement so extremely premature; Draft:The Backrooms (film) already exists. Rusted AutoParts 02:44, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per Rusted AutoParts. While researching, I didn't see any coverage that would warrant an article before it's even started production. — VORTEX³⁴²⁷ (Talk!) 04:59, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It's merely in development - and not even active development from the look of it. It doesn't meet guidelines for inclusion in the main space. TheMovieGuy
