Akira (2009 film)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Akira (2009 film), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Akira (2009 film).

AfD nomination of Akira (2009 film)

I have nominated Akira (2009 film), an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Akira (2009 film). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Hi, I nominated it for deletion because it explicitly fails the Wikipedia guidelines set down for films which haven't yet started production. This is for very good, practical reasons. Many factors such as budget issues, scripting issues, and casting issues can interfere with a project well ahead of its intended filming date. We've seen so many projects fall by the wayside at the last minute that it's the only way of ensuring 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. Don't assume that because Akira is likely to be reasonably high-profile that it will be immune to the usual pitfalls which can affect these productions, especially in the current climate. Look at how many high profile productions were postponed, even shelved indefinitely, because of the 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America strike, including the very high profile Justice League film, Pinkville, Johnny Depp's Shantaram among many others. It's not just those affected by the strike; Jurassic Park IV, which many would consider a no-brainer for a speedy greenlight, was supposed to be released in 2005. We don't even have a separate article for The Hobbit film yet. In accordance with the guideline, the article can be recreated without prejudice when principal photography is finally confirmed to have begun. All the best, Steve ^{T • C} 23:35, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for keeping banging on about that just then. Glad you understand. And remember, there's nothing wrong at all with your continuing to add production/development information about the film to Wikipedia, it's just that the best place for it right now is probably at Akira (manga) in a Film adaptation subsection. All the best, Steve ^{T • C} 23:48, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and yes, should the article be deleted, I'll make sure your additions are included in some manner at the main Akira article. Steve ^{T • C} 23:57, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

We'd be happy to help you learn the ropes to edit on Wikipedia, especially film articles! I put up a message on top of this talk page, so feel free to check out the links and ask either of us any questions you may have. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 00:40, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Websitelogo.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Websitelogo.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:18, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
