Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Near future in film
per'' : ''"All articles about anticipated events must be verifiable, and the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred. It ''is'' appropriate to report discussion and arguments about the prospects for success of future proposals and projects or whether some development will occur, provided that discussion is properly referenced."''  Some films in production have their own article, since it is near-guaranteed there will be a full-blown article containing a plot section, cast section, production section, reception section, and so forth.  The other links are appropriately in sections of articles related to the projects' subject matter, shown to be in development.  Woohookitty is providing his own opinion about these projects by saying, "Many of the films on this page will never be released or will be shelved."  Who is he to claim this?  All projects in the article have verifiable coverage to be in development.  People don't just announce possible films for the hell of it.  Behind the scenes, there are evaluations to determine how to produce a film.  For maintenance, what's the issue?  The films or projects (the latter meaning they aren't in production yet) have target release dates.  While this by no mean guarantees their actual releases, it indicates a goal that is already used as criteria for this article.  Obviously, some clean-up is necessary, and I would completely discourage citing IMDb to apply the criteria
