Deletion of Akira (live action film)

Comment: MichaelQSchmidt is right I think.   is best understood as a ''style guideline'' in so far as it reccomends that even notable projects be merged before principle photography begins.  This is to prevent Wikipedia becoming cluttered with perma-stubs about projects that generated buzz and then fell through, not to prevent coverage of actually notable projects which almost always (as in this case) have a logical parent article to put info on the production until it needs to be spun off.  Of course, including what is really style guidance in a notability guideline is potentially confusing, but I still think it's the best place for it, |all things considered.  In any event, in cases such as this where  and arguable  are met, no deletion is necessary even if OTFILM calls for a merge and redirect

Comment: May fail , but meets the |general notability guideline which overrides it.  The discussions about whether this film is going to be made are notable in themselves
