Endorsed PROD that has been contested. Non-notable future film per WP:NFF. Steamroller Assault (talk) 18:20, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Just saw this piece in the New York Times. I'm curious if this is enough to satisfy WP:NFF, which requires the production of the film (and not the film itself) to be notable. As it stands, this article is not about the production of the film. Not sure about this one. Maybe a merger to Fred Figglehorn? Steamroller Assault (talk) 18:31, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect. I agree with User:Steamroller Assault. This article is essentially a pre-release announcement of a movie based on a You-Tube series. The article makes no effort to document the notability of the pre-released movie, and therefor, by Wikipedia policy, ought to be merged into the article about the You-Tube series. Scott P.

Redirect to Fred Figglehorn per the earlier discussion. EALacey (talk) 21:21, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this recent version without prejudice. As User:Spartaz noted in closing the last AFD just 2 weeks ago, "The sourcing isn't quite there yet but its close. the NYT is one but we need more then one really decent source and arguably this belongs with the main article until the coverage is more substantial, So I'm closing this as a redirect with a specific caveat that this can be undone as and when the sourcing improves without need to refer to me or have any further discussion." The way I see it, the film has been completed, is getting more coverage, and will quite soon merit an independent article. So being a bit proactively BOLD, I went ahead and just spent a few minutes creating a better-sourced article about the Fred movie and just moved the improved version to WP:INCUBATE at Wikipedia:Article Incubator/Fred: The Movie. With respects to the authors of earlier versions, the Incubator is the better place to expand and improve the article as more becomes available.

Delete and redirect as per the extremely recent Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fred: The Movie discussion. Do not merge as there is nothing here worth merging. JBsupreme (talk) 21:45, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
CSD as recreation of already deleted/redirected article per a ridiculously recent AfD already linked by others. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 22:45, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
With respects, the newer version included additional information, so it was not "a sufficiently identical and unimproved copy", though the subject matter was the same. I will be happy to WP:AGF that the author of the second article was unaware of the first AFD discussion... one where the article was noted by the closer as almost-but-not-quit-ready for mainpages, and I make pparticular note of the closer writing "closing this as a redirect with a specific caveat that this can be undone as and when the sourcing improves without need to refer to me or have any further discussion". So I am sure the authors of both might be happy to work with WP:Incubation in adding additional sources and content in preparation for its return-without-prejudice as the release date for this completed film approaches.

Delete. WP:NFF. Enough said. Niteshift36 (talk) 22:48, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Checking available sources show that film has enterered and completed principle filming, and has growing coverge that is approaching requirements of WP:GNG. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 00:31, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
