Cancelled series that is no longer going ahead (source), all the given information is already available at Game of Thrones#Successor series. -- /Alex/21 03:21, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- Leave for G13. Do not bring drafts to MfD without a WP:NOT rationale. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:29, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- @SmokeyJoe: WP:G13 is for a "Page in draft namespace or userspace AfC submission, stale by over 6 months". That is not the case. Did you mistype? -- /Alex/21 03:31, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- User:Alex 21 - I don't think User:SmokeyJoe mistyped. He meant that at the end of April 2020, the draft will be abandoned and will die of old age. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:09, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- That's right. Add the "Prequel Dead" source to the draft, not to a Wikipedia MfD discussion. "Prequel cancelled" decision can very easily be altered and the story can continue. Maybe the prequel will happen without Naomi Watts. Any number of things may happen. A valid purpose of DraftSpace is the hosting of these WP:TOOSOON drafts, it is far better to have a TOOSOON (inc. POSSIBLYNEVER) draft in the common draftspace than in a multitude of userspace subpages or off-line notes. 6 months was the agreed suitable duration before the old sources should be wholesale WP:TNT-ed for a fresh restart with fresh sources. Standard AfC processes suffice, there is no role for MfD here. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:34, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

- Weak Keep - Leave around in case the originator wants it in case the show is re-planned or something. As User:SmokeyJoe said, it will expire at the end of April 2020 anyway. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:09, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - nothing in the nominating rationale is a reason to delete this, nor can I think any up. WilyD 15:32, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:HAMMER, especially considering the prequel was canceled. Game of Thrones contains enough info on the successor series. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 04:12, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
- Weak Keep. Article is well constructed and the editor might use for other manifestations of GOT; we should leave this to G13 for later deletion if nothing happens. Britishfinance (talk) 16:01, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
- Weak Keep it is in draft where it belongs for now. WP:NORUSH Wm335td (talk) 21:11, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
