My Fair Lady (2009 film)[edit]

Wouldn't it be loverly? Unfortunately, there's a bit of WP:CRYSTAL going on here. From the research I did, it appears Keira Knightley is considering this project -- she has not signed up for it, nor has not received the green light. I'd love to discuss this further, but I'm getting married in the morning... Ecoleetage (talk) 17:20, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Concur to delete — and also to move My Fair Lady (1964 film) back to its previous title. Kevin Forsyth (talk) 18:08, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I just moved the article back to its original title, Kevin. With a little bit of luck, it should stay put (with a little bit, with a little bit...) Ecoleetage (talk) 18:33, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I checked online and it seems legitimate: [1] and [2]. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 19:21, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Follow-up I've checked other sources that had Keira considering the role - no production has begun, nor has there been reports of other cast members being signed. There isn't even a script ready -- the two articles you cited spoke of Emma Thompson being signed to write something -- which would need the studio OK before anything goes before the camera. It is still waaaay too early for an article here. Ecoleetage (talk) 19:28, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I wonder then given that it seems somewhat likely, if we should merge and redirect to My Fair Lady and that way when/if more information comes out the redirect could easily be reversed and editors won't have to start all over? --Happy editing!

There is already a brief citation of this planned project in the article for the 1964 film. And I don't know about "somewhat likely," since there isn't even a script, just an idea. It doesn't pass WP:CRYSTAL. It is still too early to say "I think she's got it!" Ecoleetage (talk) 19:37, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps merge and redirect to here for the time being? --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 19:49, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge (if there is anything to merge) & Redirect to My Fair Lady. According to one of the sources posted by Le Grand Roi, they've only just got a screenwriter, so the article falls some way short of WP:NFF. No guarantee the film will ever be made. PC78 (talk) 19:39, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Damn, damn, damn... I've grown accustomed to this article. WP:CRYSTAL. Protonk (talk) 19:40, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not per WP:CRYSTAL, since there is verifiable coverage about this possible film, but per the notability guidelines for future films because filming has not begun and is not guaranteed to. Only recreate if filming does begin. Sorry, I know no catchy line from this fictional work to conclude my !vote. :) —Erik (talk • contrib) - 19:43, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Normally I would say delete for this sort of thing, but as My Fair Lady already mentions this film, so I don't think a redirect is unwarranted. PC78 (talk) 19:48, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The notability guidelines for future films stipulate that a stand-alone article for a film should not be created until a project enters production. This is because many factors such as budget issues, scripting issues, and casting issues can interfere with the project. As we can see, only the casting is sort-of sorted so far. The article can be recreated when principal photography is confirmed to have begun. Steve ^{T • C} 19:51, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The sentries of our gentry find that we must delete this entry... for failing WP:CRYSTAL. HiDrNick! 21:42, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
