Quick note
Hey, just realized that at the AfD for Saturn Return (2026 film) you were referring to reasons why the article should be OK to move to the draftspace. I’m so used to people arguing for article retention for unreleased films with fairly poor, routine sourcing that I just sort of missed that it was about drafts. So, sorry about that!

- We were both explaining different items. What you said was correct for WP:NFF and I was stating that if it the content was to stay it can only be within draftspace. I understand the frustration. No worries! – The Grid (talk) 18:28, 23 March 2026 (UTC)
