The Expendables 2
This article was prod because "Unreleased film. (Slated for August 2012)." The tag was removed without rebuttal. Quotes from movie trailers and other promotional materials for future releases do not belong on Wikiquote. — Ningauble (talk) 14:41, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete as nom. Borderline case for speedy deletion under WQ:CRYSTAL. ~ Ningauble (talk) 14:41, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - not verifiable until film is released. -- User: Tryst  (talk to me!) 16:51, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete The quotes may be verifiable if they are in a trailer or press release, but the film lacks notability until release.--Collingwood (talk) 07:24, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - I would say speedy delete actually, based on WQ:CRYSTAL. ~ UDScott (talk) 14:37, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I considered doing that, but the inclusion of quotes from promotional materials created some ambiguity in my mind: it seems to be not quite an empty placeholder, and not quite a blatant advertisement. I think it would be entirely within their discretion if another administrator wants to cut through these ambiguities with decisive action. ~ Ningauble (talk) 15:16, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom under our current rules, although perhaps we should have some place for quotable phrases originally (or exclusively) found in film trailers. BD2412 T 16:11, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Do you mean something like the Advertising slogans article, where we are requiring independent secondary sources to demonstrate quotability? ~ Ningauble (talk) 12:49, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
