I suggest that in order to prevent any future edit reverting, I recommend splitting the articles with "List of films in development hell," or "list of music in development hell," or any video games in vaporware.-- 2600:8801:30A2:4400:9559:FB97:2250:73CE ( talk) 19:30, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
That's because that it spent 15 years in development hell, and it is a notable example of media being in development hell. 37.39.243.210 ( talk) 17:02, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
Does John Carter and The Princess of Mars belong on this list? It took about 100 years to make that movie. Liberty5651 ( talk) 19:21, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
I propose that this article changes it's appearance to something more akin to the list of video games notable for negative reception or list of films considered the worst. Through this, the article could expand on certain pieces of media and make it easier to read.

I recently added Sonic X-treme and immediately self-reverted, realising it was only in development hell for two years. With that said, it was still a significant event in the video game industry, in that it all but doomed the Sega Saturn. Pinging the article creator, @ Eddiehimself, on where the ten-year figure came from. Mac Dreamstate ( talk) 13:20, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
This has felt like a problem since I first encountered this article a couple of weeks ago, so I did a deep dive into all the MANY definitions of ‘media’ in two dictionaries. I found no definition that directly or indirectly allows characterization of a project as a medium. I’m newish (pushing 400 edits) and don’t have the power or knowledge to make this correction. Could one of the veterans please make this simple fix? Thanks so much! Left Central ( talk) 11:06, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
Multiple concepts for a Spider-Man film were proposed and fell through starting in the 80s before the original 2002 movie. 88T3 ( talk) 00:41, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
Adaption of Snow Crash, "the novel was optioned shortly after its publication and subsequent success" (in 1992), and there have been announcements that have come to nothing ever since. ghouston ( talk) 07:15, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
why this staff on this article were written alphabetical order rather than chronological order? 2404:8000:1027:85F6:B8A8:7E75:EDEB:4A70 ( talk) 13:39, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
The article is getting unmanageable as is, it is too broad. I want to start a discussion about splitting the article into more than one, say "video games" and other media, such as television and movies. We have over 300k bytes (somewhat too large) and 571 citations (way too much for one article). Granted, it needs good references, but it's just too much for one page, making it difficult for phones and tablets to navigate. I'm not in love with the overall format, and think chronological order would make more sense as well, but that would be a different subject. Thoughts? I would rather not get bold with this, and prefer some well thought out discussion first. Dennis Brown 2¢ 12:37, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
The lead section of the article provides a specific definition of "in development for more than 10 years", however, the article itself doesn't actually follow this. I didn't check the other sections, but in the video game section for example there are the yet unreleased games Metroid Prime 4, announced in 2017 (7 years ago) and Hollow Knight: Silksong, announced in 2019 (5 years ago), both of which I think do fit in this list, since they were delayed and have been called "development hell" by commentators. I think the strict requirement of 10 years might not be the best criterium, it also means that items can only be added that are at least a decade old, even when they are already considered development hell before that threshold and there is no release date in sight. Shortening the list could instead be achieved by splitting it into several articles for films, video games etc. I just added The Elder Scrolls VI, which was announced in 2018 (6 years ago), though it is a long-awaited sequel to a game from 2011 (13 years ago), and Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer himself estimates the release to be 5 or more years in the future from 2023, making it a 2028 or later release, which would in fact be 10 or more years.
