Removing the section on the announced film

edit

A few hours ago, an IP user (I say that only to indicate that I'm not pinging the user to respond because I can't) added material regarding an alleged planned film adaptation. I see from the history, had been added from an IP in the same 174.236.*.* block a week ago and reverted without comment. But, before I saw that, I copyedited the material, heavily. Then I went to find a source for it—and found none whatsoever. No announcements regarding "Caillou" in conjunction with "Sawalha" or "Branagh" (two actors purportedly slated to appear in the film) or with a character named "Gregg Hockley". So I'm removing the content.

Besides that, even if I'd found sources, an article on the book series shouldn't be 50% about something other than the book series. The section would need to be cut down to a sentence or two. It would be appropriate in an article of its own, but that article would have to meet the requirements of WP:NFF, the guidelines on notability of future films. But, now, that point is moot because the issue here is simply a failure of WP:V. Largoplazo (talk) 13:06, 7 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
