Spring Breakers (film)[edit]

Does not appear to meet WP:GNG, despite some limited media coverage. Mostly looks like a case of WP:TOOSOON. §everal⇒|Times 20:50, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This independent film is not due for release until next year; as a result, there is not enough encyclopedic content available in reliable sources to make it notable enough for an article. ItsZippy ^{(talk • contributions)} 21:21, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are also copyright and close paraphrasing issues with this. ItsZippy ^{(talk • contributions)} 21:23, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Even if not specific copyright, a "too close paraphrasing" is an issue quite often addressable by regular editing... and we do have options that serve the project better than outright deletion. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 21:59, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per WP:ATD for now to its director Harmony Korine, as this article is simply a little too soon. The project began shooting in Florida earlier this month, and so we "do" have confirmation of principal filming. Considering the great interest and attention already given the film by reliable sources,[1] this one will definitely be a project on which we should keep an eye. Outright deletion will simply have someone attempt a premature recreation. We can for now redirect this to the filmmaker where, and through use if the numerous soures already available,[2] the topic may be written of for now and in context to her career. When release become more imminent, the redirect can then be reversed and the article expanded and sourced accordingly. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 21:59, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Merge to Harmony Korine, per Michael, with the only difference being that I think this film deserves a small mention on that page rather than simply being redirected there. (At the moment the only mention is a link to Spring Breakers (film).) — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 10:35, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Good idea, and mention now made. Appears that principle filming has completed and the project is moving into post production. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 22:06, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Korine is a well-known filmmaker and the film is likely to be notable when released, but the release is at least a year away. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:32, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- No doubt Korine wishes to complete post production in time for next year's spring break... and he now has the luxury of time. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 22:06, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
