The Little Mermaid III

Article's existence is not yet warranted per the notability guidelines for films. If the project enters production, the article can be recreated. As the article suggests, this project has likely been dumped. Liquidfinale ^{(Ţ) (Ç) (Ŵ)} 12:42, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the notability guidelines for films, which says that a stand-alone article for a film should be created if the project enters production. There is no verifiable information that the film is in production, and Google News Search only talks about the Little Mermaid III preview found on the predecessor's DVD and no follow-up. A common Google search

shows no reliable sources, either, with apparently only speculation in forums and blogs. If the project can be verified to enter production per WP:NF, then the article can be recreated. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 12:49, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I've only just noticed the previous AfD's for this title; each of which was clear as to the recommendation to delete. I should really have taken this to speedy, but no matter. Liquidfinale ^{(Ţ) (Ç) (Ŵ)} 12:53, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The AfDs were before the so-called preview of The Little Mermaid III on DVD on October 2006, so I'm not sure if speedy deletion would have worked. Judging from the lack of any information about this project since the preview, though... —Erik (talk • contrib) - 13:04, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This film's mere existence is not confirmed anywhere but the IMDb, blogs and maybe some Disney "rumor sites". This article can be re-created if the film materializes. szyslak 16:22, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless verifable sourcing found. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 18:21, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete until an official announcement
Delete per nom and untill it is confirmed. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 12:46, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Don't Delete. There is a trailer for this film in many of the recently released PE versions of various disney films (especially the PE version of TLM), so that is at least one valid source. and besides, the whole blogs thing, the mere fact that at least one of the blogs is by a VA and has confirmed in said blog that she IS voicing Alana is valid enough to be a source. Also, why is it that you blacklisted IMDB as a source if you source it in many critical responses sections of various films? If it is blacklisted, it shouldn't even be in a critical response section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.32.252.186 (talk) 00:13, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You cannot count on the info at IMDB as being verifiable. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 19:17, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And yet you guys used it in several Critical Response sections despite it not being verifiable? really, if it isn't verifiable, why would you source it in a critical response section of a Movie? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.32.252.186 (talk) 00:13, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It can be a nice source of extra information, but it should not be the only source. It cannot be used to assert notability. It seems IMDB articles have been tampered with in the past, for what reasons you cab well imagine. And just because someone did does not mean they should have.

Don't Delete. As mentioned above, Disney has acknowledged the movie and released at least one clip of the movie. At this point, whether the movie sees release or gets shelved, there is enough out there to warrant at least a short article until more information comes to light.
