Prod removed, so it has to come here. A classic example of WP:CRYSTAL, though it probably will be notable when it finally appears. DGG ( talk ) 20:14, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per CRYSTAL and no notability. Plus the director doesn't even have an article, links to a dab page. Softlavender (talk) 10:33, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Softlavender. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 05:29, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
WP:CRYSTAL does not tell us we cannot discuss future events, but wisely instructs how and where they might be discussed if they have suitable coverage. That said, Delete per TOOSOON and determine to just "Vijay" article this title might be redirected. The topic of a film to be called "Vaalu" is not unsourcable,[1] and policy allows that we might at least find some place where a well-covered topic might be spoken of in context. The dab page spoken of above shows a numnber of notable Indians referred to as "Vijay", so I will not declare that there is no article on tis one... only that we are at the moment simply unsure just which one he is. The topic has been hinted and written about for a couple years,[2] and just a few weeks ago we learn that that music is being composed for this as-yet-unmade film.[3] BUT, as all we have in more recent news are announcements of Vaalu to be directed "by newbie Vijay" and some news of planned cast,[4] the topic fails WP:NFF. I note that policy allows how it might be reasonable to mention it within the director's article (as we may well have one on him) as a project in pre-production, even if not yet meriting a separate article.

Deletion is not permanent. It can always be recreated when there is sufficient info to support a decent article. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 03:43, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that an article can be recreated if/when a topic's time finally comes. But redirects that properly serve the reader are quite cheap, and in this case could act to prevent a premature recreation. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 07:48, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
