Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Asal
The |notability guideline for future films recommends that a stand-alone article for a film should not be created until a project enters production. This is for very practical reasons. Budget issues, scripting issues, and casting issues can interfere with a project well ahead of its intended filming date. Indeed, Gautham Menon's departure from the project is just one example of how a film might be disrupted by events beyond the filmmakers' control. We see many projects fall by the wayside at the last minute, so application of the guideline is the only way in which we can ensure that this place doesn't get clogged with stubby articles about films which were never made and thus would ultimately fail the |general notability guideline. It should also never be assumed that because a film is likely to be reasonably high-profile, with major stars attached, that it will be immune to the usual pitfalls which can affect these productions, especially in the current climate. Projects can be put on hold at the last minute while a director tackles another film (e.g. Spielberg's ''Lincoln (film)|Lincoln''), we had the potential actors' strike, and look at how many productions were postponed, even shelved indefinitely, because of the 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America strike. An example of just such a project might be the Justice League (film)|''Justice League'' film, which was put on hold at the last minute, or ''Jurassic Park IV'', which is still in development hell and which many would consider a no-brainer for a speedy greenlight (it was actually supposed to be ''released'' in 2005). In accordance with the guideline, the article can be recreated without prejudice if and when principal photography is finally confirmed to have begun. Until then, the relevant information can sit comfortably at a designated parent article, where it can be viewed in the correct context, or |userfied
