Comment: See WP:CRYSTAL. For an article to exist on an upcoming piece of media (like Moana 2), it has to be that the number and depth of sources that exist show that the work would be notable even if it were never made. At present, if this series was cancelled or never aired there is no reason it would be notable (it might just be a paragraph in the article Tyler Perry). — Bilorv (talk) 23:38, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
