The result was no consensus. Certainly there is no consensus to delete- and the longer this goes on, the longer the production, with a concomitant growth in notability. In any case, as was pointed in the course of the discussion, AfD is not required or a pre-requisite for a merge / redirect to be discussed.

Contested PROD (removed by creator with no rationale). This is an upcoming play which is written and directed by notable people, starring a notable person and based on a notable film. However, there's not much in the way of notability for the play itself as yet beyond the sorts of coverage that these things get when announced. I therefore question its independent notability.

- Redirect to Network (film)#Stage adaptation for the time being, and once the play's notability is more clearly established, the content can be restored. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:20, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

- Merge and redirect as Metropolitan 90 says. (And please note that a merge/redirect could have been done, or at least proposed, without requiring an AfD.) The content is relevant to the article about the movie but there's no need for a separate article about the play until it starts to receive more substantive coverage. While a play with these highly notable elements will almost certainly get that coverage around the time it opens, there's also the possibility it could be cancelled or delayed, and
Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. --

- If the play goes kaput, the Wiki article can be removed at that time. Keeping the article up offers the opportunity to track the production apart from general Internet news. I would never have heard of this upcoming production had it not been for this article. A 2018 film with Dwayne Johnson has a Wiki page that no one is talking about taking down. -- Hifrommike65 14:32 p.m., 26 July 2017 (CDT)
- Keep It is being produced by the National Theatre rather than being a commercial production. Therefore the chances of it being cancelled or delayed are negligible, and WP:CRYSTALBALL says to include if an event is almost certain to take place. There is already a reasonable amount of coverage of the announcement of the premiere season in independent sources, like here. Boneymau ( talk) 06:21, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
