Single-sourced article about a film that was never completed or released. As always, a film entering the production pipeline does not automatically get an instant notability freebie that exempts it from having to actually clear WP:NFILM, precisely because films sometimes never actually get finished or released -- and the existence of one news story about its collapse in one newspaper is not, in and of itself, an instant free pass over WP:GNG either: we would require several reliable sources to cover this in depth, not just one, before the existence of media coverage was substantive enough to override its lack of actual release. Our goal is to have articles about notable films that people can see, not about every film project that ever got started but not finished. Bearcat (talk) 05:20, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. At the very best, a brief mention could be added to Albert Johnson (criminal)#Films and music, but I'm not in favor. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:49, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
