Subject is a proposed Iranian Film that may or may not (sources are conflicting) have been approved for filming. Sources from January of 2013 suggest the film might start shooting sometime in 2014. I have been unable to find any WP:RS sources that are more current than last January. This possible film would seem to fall under WP:TOOSOON and it fails WP:NFF.

- Delete per the notability guidelines for future films. I cannot find anything since the initial announcement. Until filming of this proposed film does begin, it seems best to keep mention of The General Staff to the article for Argo. Erik (talk | contribs) 01:19, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per TOO SOON. While its plans have been spoken of in sources (ie: We learn at Coming Soon in Italian that this project may finally get funding), we can wait until filming begins and we have more information for our readers. A mention in the Argo article is per policy. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 06:13, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
* Speedy Delete On 12 may this Persian source (Fars news agency) -which is reliable in this case- claims that they won't make this movie lack of sufficient money.Farhikht (talk) 08:02, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, we do not "speedy" film topics that have received coverage in reliable sources, specially as quite often a film declared canceled gets made later anyways. The provided Farsi article tells us that last month one certain production agency backed out, and provides only that the filmmaker stills plans on getting it made. While a delete per existing guideline WP:NFF is valid, a speedy is not. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 08:40, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, the film received coverage also in some Persian-language reliable sources so I change my vote to delete per your claim.Farhikht (talk) 09:20, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Fair enough, and thank you. IF this does eventually goes into actual production rather than just "talks", we can always revisit the topic. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 18:01, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
