The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2
This article was prod because "Unreleased film, slated for November 2012." The tag was removed with the annotation "All quotes are from official trailers of the film". Quotes from movie trailers and other promotional ephemera for future releases do not belong on Wikiquote. There are other, more appropriate venues for conducting viral marketing campaigns. — Ningauble (talk) 19:11, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete as nom. Perhaps the language at WQ:NOT and/or WQ:SD should be revised to make it clearer that quotes from promotional materials for future publications do not belong on Wikiquote. (WQ:SD doesn't even explicitly authorize speedy deletion of blatant advertising and spam, much less pages that quote advertisements for unpublished works.) ~ Ningauble (talk) 19:11, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, and I would support the notion of adding a case for speedy deletion in the case of future works (e.g. unreleased films or not yet broadcast TV shows). Quotes from anything not yet released to the general public cannot be verified and their pages should not exist until these works are released. ~ UDScott (talk) 19:39, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Perhaps we could do this by notability criteria. An unreleased film (or book) is not notable enough to have quotes from it, although conceivably there could be notable quotes about it.--Collingwood (talk) 20:42, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The "unremarkable subject" clause at WQ:SD does not cover these. Wikipedia has articles about upcoming films all the time, because the Hollywood press produces enough chatter for them to be considered notable projects under the "notability" guideline. But notability alone does not confer quotability on industry chatter, much less advertisements. ~ Ningauble (talk) 12:45, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I was thinking of an amendment to the criteria to make it clear that an unreleased film (or book) is not notable enough to have quotes from it. Obviously, if there is extensive media coverage, including good quotes, these could be relied on as independent third parties.--Collingwood (talk) 12:44, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I like this idea, we should implement it. -- User: Tryst  (talk to me!) 11:05, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, under our current rules. BD2412 T 16:13, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - we do not generally have pages for film trailers. -- User: Tryst  (talk to me!) 16:19, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
