Alain,

I just thought I'd pop my head up from under the sand to offer my unsolicited thoughts and opinions. :)

I agree with the policy 100%. Creating stubs for speculative, unreleased content is distracting to our contributor efforts and invites rumours and mistakes. For regular users, this is a policy we should continue to strongly enforce.

With that said, Mike is a special case, part of our Wikia family. We have made - and continue to make - policy exceptions for our own Admins working on pet-projects, which includes stubbing out hundreds or thousands of pages and then going back to work on them at a later time. These requests from our Wikia family are rare and are mutually beneficial to our community.

Additionally, Mike is proposing that the bulk of the work be done by his team, so it'll likely save effort in the long run. If there's concern that the stubbed pages Mike and his team create will become abused or filled with speculation, we can put a temporary page protection on them to ensure only vetted contributors are making changes.

Does this sound like a fair compromise?
