WP:TOOSOON article about an unreleased film. As always, Wikipedia does not keep an article about every film that can be minimally sourced as having entered the production pipeline -- with rare exceptions on the order of the Star Wars or Marvel franchises, the notability test for most film requires the film to get released and receive reviews from film critics. But this cites just two pieces of production-announcement coverage, which is nowhere near enough to make an unreleased film notable yet, and according to the most recent update its entire status is now in doubt as even its IMDb profile has been scrubbed completely.

• Move it to the draft space. Better than lose all the work that have been done--SirEdimon (talk) 23:17, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Articles don't get retained in draftspace indefinitely either — if something doesn't happen within six months to change its notability enough to get it restored to articlespace again, then it will get deleted from there too. In the incredibly unlikely event that this ever actually gets released, we can undelete the article if we want to recover the past work. Bearcat (talk) 02:01, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I understand. But at least it gives the article six months. If nothing happens, the draft can be deleted.--SirEdimon (talk) 02:10, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge & redirect to Chew (comics). Deletion is a non-starter when other, better options are on the table. PC78 (talk) 09:23, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge into Chew (comics) per above commenter. Lusotitan (Talk | Contributions) 06:15, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Move to Draft WP:TOOSOON as the other cast has yet to be announced, if updates to occur within six to seven months the article could have not moved to draft unlike the situation like now. Sheldybett (talk) 03:45, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Chew (comics)#Animated feature, where it is currently covered minimally. Any content from the article history can be merged if it complies with WP:DUE, and the article spun out again when it is ready. Alpha3031 (t • c) 02:29, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
