Ben 10 Alien Force the Movie[edit]

Explicitly fails future film notability guidelines. No prejudice towards recreation when reliable sources indicate that filming has begun. Suggest merge/redirect any useful content to source material's article. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 07:31, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Be bold and merge. The article obviously doesn't have enough material to stand on its own, but covering plans for a film in the article about the source material is common and acceptable. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:16, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this article for now, as I have just followed Mgm's advice and merged what little was there into Ben 10: Alien Force. When more is known, the article might easily be brought back. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 19:25, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete since production has not yet begun with no prejudice against recreation if it is reliably sourced to have begun. The content related to the film at Ben 10: Alien Force could use some sourcing, though. —Erik (talk • contrib) 00:17, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Quite agree. But the merge seemed to make sense, since that is where the information might best be expected to be found. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 00:25, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, no problem with the merge of details. Just not crazy about the "Confirmed by IMDb" kind of wording. —Erik (talk • contrib) 03:41, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. Just changed the merged wording from "confirmed by" to "as listed on". With the film not yet released, the cast is not "confirmed"... simply listed... and only a few can be WP:Verified elsewhere. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 08:15, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge and redirect to the main article for the franchise. At this point in time, the movie is not at the stage of development where sufficient reliable sources can be provided to support an article on the subject, but it is an important development in the history of the franchise. At the point in the future where more reliable sources exist for the movie, the content can simply be split out again. -- saberwyn 07:10, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
