Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chip-Wrecked

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

Limited sourcing for a future film. No indication "principle photography" (or similar) has begun. Disputed (removed without comment) prod. SummerPhD (talk) 23:47, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, apparently mostly speculation and/or wishful thinking. The IMDB listing doesn't even give it this title. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:53, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:Crystal and per WP:NFF. I would have said Incubate if it had any sources at all to prove it's information true. If any sources are added to the article, then I might just change it to Incubate. − Jhenderson⁷⁷⁷ 00:03, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete with haste per WP:CRYSTAL, title isn't confirmed. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 02:52, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:CRYSTAL and plain timing; even if this was announced right this moment it's not going to make the December 16 release date at this point. Nate • (chatter) 17:27, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Nate... that's December 16, 2011. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:19, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Understood, but it's a 3D/computer animated movie. It takes more than eleven months to put one of those together. Nate • (chatter) 03:29, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
With the computer and software advances available in even the last few months, it is conceivable that a 3-D film can be completed in far shorter order than even 2 years ago, so I would not be too quick to discount that possibility. However, and as I opined below, it is getting coverage and filming is planned to begin soon, and incubation gets it out of mainspace so it might be worked on in preparing for a return. If the film is cancelled, so will be the incubated article. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 07:56, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Alvin and the Chipmunks: 3D because that is what the IMDB entry says. And trim out the WP:CRYSTAL ~ Matthewrbowker ^{Say hi!} 05:45, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

Incubate as Alvin and the Chipmunks 3D per WP:TOOSOON. Under its correct title Alvin and the Chipmunks 3D (thank you Matthewrbowker), it IS getting coverage,[1] but not quite enough to merit being an exception to WP:NFF. BUT, as it does appear that principle filming may begin quite soon,[2] we can use the guideline encouraged option to keep it on standbye in the incubator and allow it to be expanded and sourced until ready for mainspace.
