Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.

To call that "blanking the page" is unfair. I have encountered other tropers who do a similar thing to cutlisted pages; there's this idea that pages need to be "prepared" for the cutlist. After PM'ing them about it (and if the page was kept), the issue gets resolved by either them fixing their mistake or you fixing it and them not repeating it.
Considering that the film isn't out yet, I think this is just a misunderstanding of what subpages are okay to have redirects prior to the work actually existing.
Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
'Kay. Just figured I'd ask.
Note the upcoming American film has a page at Death Note (2017) while the Japanese films are on the manga page

For whatever reason, the first film adaption didn't gets it's own page just the sequels

Just FYI: The reason that one work has a page and another, closely related work doesn't (in this case the sequels have pages but the original doesn't) is almost always that somebody cared enough about the one to make a page and nobody has bothered to make a page for the other. On vanishingly rare occasions, one of a set of related works may have had its page cut and locked to prevent remaking it due to content.

Being honest, I just thought someone made a weird redirect for the anime even though the 2017 movie had its own page. Was I not supposed to do that?

For clarity, I made that redirect in reference to the 2006 film, not the 2017 one. And yes, AFAIK making such redirects is perfectly fine when there's a closely related work in another medium. For instance, there are numerous pages in the Literature/ and Theatre/ namespaces with a Film/ redirect if any adaptations haven't gotten their own pages (yet).
In addition, that redirect dates back to 2015, not yesterday.

My mistake. I missed out the year >_<
Oh, my bad, then.

^^^^^ Hmm, I thought the Japanese films did quite well at the box office and were popular with the fanbase

Maybe we turn the page into a disambiguation page in case anyone needs it? That way it will be a useful page for both films.
^ That would probably be the best course of action, given that there are now two live-action films. The guideline for dealing with multiple same-medium, same-name works is always to disambiguate, so creating the 2006 version in Film.Death Note would make no sense anymore.

^^ Are we going to do that or something else?
(I can do it myself, if need be)

Now that Death Note Series has been created, I have gone ahead and redirected Film.Death Note to that page instead though there is a lot of wicks to be checked and some content to be moved to the new page

Morgenthaler created a redirect ahead of the upcoming Death Note film here
yesterday (that will likely become a full blown page come the movie's release date. Now, Tropers/Crossover-Enthusiast has blanked and cutlisted it. What (if anything) should be done?
