The result was speedy delete‎. This is a mixture of hoax and truth, it seems. I had initially deleted it as a hoax but it looks like this is basically a copy of the article for the movie Aflatoon (2023 film). There are some small changes here and there, like the production company names and the addition of several awards. A reverse search does bring up this poster, so assuming this poster isn't a hoax it's possible that this was released somewhere under this name. That said, this is still a complete copy of an existing article and as such, still qualifies for a speedy deletion. It's also hard to assume this wasn't an attempt at a hoax when this was copied pretty much verbatim from the Aflatoon article.

the article appears to be a WP:HOAX as it specifies a release date in the future but then lists a litany of awards, all of which are uncited. A BEFORE does not turn up anything particular to this film, although I will note it is a common name dating back to a 1980s short. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 13:44, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I have done some more digging, as far as I can tell, this reaches speedy level so I have tagged it for hoax as well. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 14:36, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
