Wait, hold on. We don't need pages for works that aren't going to be released for a while yet?

I'm going to bring up something related. A while back I made a page for an upcoming trilogy of tie-in comics for Avatar The Last Airbender. It's not going to be released for a couple of months, and the page as it is right now is very small and stagnating, I just set it up for when people might need it. I didn't know that there was some sort of rule against that, and for that, I apologize.

Here's the page.

There isn't a rule against that, as we have a number of cases of it. There is a rule against badly written pages though, especially stubs.

While yours isn't a stub, it does need a little expanding if you can manage it. It also needs to be moved to the proper namespace, and to be indexed accordingly.

Imminent Arrivals is pretty much the page where you list anything that would normally be randomly added as an unindexed stub. I don't think there is a rule besides not making stubs, but it's best to not make a page for an upcoming work if there's not a significant number of tropes/information that can be contributed.
