WP:NFF states that a film should generally not have an independent article until actual filming had commenced. However, and per policy, in certain circumstances where the length and depth of enduring coverage of a future project exceeds the requirements for presumption of notability as set by the general notability guide, and even before actual commencement of filming, has allowed in some cases a guideline encouraged consideration of a common sense exception: the creation of articles on well-documented "film project". Such articles are not treated in the same manner as a "film" article. This consideration of the policy allowance toward well documented "future" events has caused some debate on which upcoming films might qualify as acceptable topics.
This essay is intended to assist editors in determining when it might be acceptable to create a "film project" article, and how to create one.
