List of upcoming Pakistani films[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Many of the films on the list are unsourced. Similar articles have been deleted in the past, e.g. List of upcoming films. For those entries which are actually in production, close to release, and notable, a category would work better than this list. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 20:12, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support deletion per nomination. Fortdj33 (talk) 20:59, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support deletion at the moment anyway. It is an unsourced mess. If MichaelQSchmidt can recommend a way to fix or redirect it (of course this is dependent on MQS's work load and/or any desire to deal with this at all) then I would be willing to rethink my vote.

Comment page says in start that these films are just announced, in production or of which release date is not announced. Can this page be KEEP if every title is given a reliable reference? UBS talk 02:29, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is doubtful. Please read WP:NFF and WP:CRYSTAL MarnetteD|Talk 03:20, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and cleanup. Remove anything unsourced. Check the blue-links for references in that article. Individual articles that fail WP:NFF can be deleted if needed. Future films should be easy to verify. Something that is being released in the middle of Feb should have plenty of coverage, for example. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 09:13, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This topic will be constantly "rolling", though. What about emulating the current year-specific approach? For example, we have up to 2019 in film. This generally means that a 2016-in-film list for Pakistani films could grow and usually stay, where additional year-in-film lists can be created and sustained as newer films come out.

Well, I see now that there are no release dates attached to these, so a year-specific approach won't always work. Do we even list upcoming films anywhere if there's no release year attached? Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 15:35, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, I guess we could move any concrete info into List of Pakistani films of 2015 or List of Pakistani films of 2016 instead. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 19:47, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - At best, a crystal ball exercise. An inevitable magnet for rumor and poorly sourced speculation. Carrite (talk) 17:13, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, frankly, I don't see the usefulness of such list, and I see a lot of issues, starting from the continuous updating and monitoring it would require. Cavarrone 10:49, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
