I need some help determining notability for the article [[Adi Hasak]]. Long story short, it's an article created by a COI editor. There's an assertion of notability here but not the strongest one and there is some mention in the press, but not a whole lot. Do you guys think that he passes notability guidelines as a whole or should this go to AfD? I admit that there is some trouble at the article with the COI editor and [[User:Jbhunley|JBH]] has tried working with them without a whole lot of success, so I do feel that I need to put that out there if anyone's interested in helping with the article.

National Film Award winners at CfD
A whole bunch of categories from here down. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 17:57, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- I'd like to point editors to this discussion which might have further impact on the way we use categorization. What the nominator is asking is to delete National Film Award and Filmfare Awards categories that are placed in winners' articles. The articles are in the style of Category:Best X National Film Award winners (example:Category:Best Director National Film Award winners). While you might debate if Filmfare Awards or National Film Awards (India) is important (one editor said the National Film Awards is the most important one in India), the result of this would cause one of two things - (A) some awards will be deemed "important" or "defining" and will be eligible to such categories (Category:Male film actors by award for more information), which would seem to be biased and not an objective selection (does this violate a policy or a guideline?) or (B) would require all such categories to be deleted for consistency. --Gonnym (talk) 17:35, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
Persondata has been officially deprecated
Persondata has been deprecated and the template and input data are subject to removal from all bio articles in the near future. For those editors who entered accurate data into the persondata templates of film actors and other bio subjects, you are advised to manually transfer that data to Wikidata before the impending mass deletion occurs. Here are two examples of Wikidata for film actors: Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. If you have any more questions about the persondata removal, Wikidata, etc., please ping me.

Help with an article?
I was wondering if anyone familiar with list pages could help out an IP editor with the article Draft:Highest grossing animated opening. The editor is trying to make an article that shows the opening weekend figures for the top animated films, which I think would make a potentially very good WP article. I'm not all that familiar with notability for lists of this nature or really how to go about establishing notability and verifying that the list shows the highest grossing weekends worldwide, so I think that this really needs a lot of editors helping to source and maintain the article. The IP has already posted at the animation wikiproject, but I'm going to post at the list wikiproject as well. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:22, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Simply Media DVD releases
An IP editor, 94.143.253.98 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), has been adding upcoming DVD release information from Simply Media to many articles. I left a message on the IP's talk page about COI and promotion. Some of the edits, such as this one, seem a bit crystal ball-ish, as it's a planned release in four months. I've noticed that people have reverted these edits in the past, so I figured I'd see what the wider consensus is. Normally, I'm all for including DVD release information, but this strikes me as a marketing campaign. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:11, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
- I've reverted the majority of them for being unsourced, particularly for the WP:CRYSTAL issue. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:26, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
Participant?
I know that everyone is free to add him/herself here, and so am I. However, I doubt if I am doing it right as all I do is contribute to film-related (and also music-related) lists, only lists! What do I do? -- FrankBoy CHITCHAT 00:11, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
- @FrB.TG: If you wanted to, you could leave a note beside your name that says you prefer lists. That way, people will know to contact you for help if they have questions about film-related lists. But there are no rules or anything. Anyone can join, and when you add your name, you can say whatever you want, or say nothing at all. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:53, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
Discussion about the order of the cast listing at To Kill a Mockingbird
Hi. In case editors would like to join in there is a talk page discussion about the order of the names in the cast listing of To Kill a Mockingbird. Randy Kryn 16:18, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
Need help about two photos
I recently uploaded several photos from the latest Cannes festival and I need some help to identify two persons. The photo on the left shows the cast and crew of the film High strung. I identified the bearded gentleman on the left as Paul Freeman, who stars in the film, but I may be wrong. Could anyone confirm that it is indeed him or, if not, tell me who this is ?
So far, I could not identify the lady in the photo on the right. Does anyone have an idea about who she is ? Thanks a lot, Jean-Jacques Georges (talk) 09:49, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
- Hi. You could also try posting here too, with a few more eyes looking at your query. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 08:42, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'll copy the message there. Jean-Jacques Georges (talk) 08:01, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Discussion about moving/retitling the page for Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group...
Hi. In case editors would like to join in, there is a talk page discussion about moving/retitling the page for Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group. 76.235.248.47 (talk) 12:58, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
Dispute over critical response summary at Jupiter Ascending
Hi, comments requested at Talk:Jupiter Ascending#Critical response summary removed. One user is intent on changing "mixed to negative" critical response summary to "generally negative". My compromise is to remove the summary entirely, even if it is technically consistent with both Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:36, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
Plot summary notices as "official" warnings?
I (primarily) designed and have been using the Template:uw-plotsum1 and (rarely) Template:uw-plotsum2 user warning templates for quite some time in situations where editors added significant amounts of material to plot summaries, beyond that delineated at WP:FILMPLOT and the other relevant areas.
I've found myself wondering whether it might be worth making an effort to get these templates added to Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace, and from there possibly added to Twinkle. I think the biggest pro and con of such an effort would be that the templates would likely receive a great deal more scrutiny than they have to this point. I don't think anyone's expressed any concern about the templates as they stand now, but it's possible that with more editors paying attention to them they might prove contentious in a manner they have not to this point.
For anyone wondering why there's no level 3 or 4 on these, the theory has been that anyone who needed that level of warning on this type of behavior was, at that point, either edit-warring or at least engaging in disruptive editing, for which there are already warning templates available.
I'd very much like to know what other editors think before I take any action. Thanks for your input! DonIago (talk) 12:53, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- Plot bloat is probably the single biggest problem on film articles so I support having a template. That said you probably only need the one though, because if an editor chooses to restore the detail after receiving the first notice it is not because they aren't aware of the various guidelines governing synopses and you are going to have to have a proper conversation with them. Betty Logan (talk) 13:32, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- I agree with everything which Betty Logan said above. There is definitely a need for a template, and a single template should suffice. If the editor reverts after the template is affixed, a talk page discussion is warranted, else an edit war might ensue. Regarding adding the template on Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace, if that makes it easier to keep plotbloat in check, than I'm all for it. I wouldn't worry about any subsequent scrutiny, in my eyes that's a good thing. Onel5969 (talk) 13:41, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- I think this would be very handy. This popped up on my watchlist recently and I wasn't sure how to tackle it. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 14:11, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Category for films set in "a single room"?
Had someone ask me about films set in a single location such as 12 Angry Men or My Dinner with Andre. I figured there might be an appropriate category but didn't see one (at least, not one listed under Category:Films by setting.
Any thoughts for a helpful category? If not, any thoughts as to whether it might be worth setting one up? DonIago (talk) 14:58, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- Is there a category in Films by setting? Do the child categories of that suggest anything? Otherwise I'd suggest Films set in a single room. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:03, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- I think this might head to WP:CFD, much like films set within one day did some time ago. Is it defining to all these films? And could a list do a better job? Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 19:17, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- It could be, if the articles for the films had sourced discussion of the setting. Or the category (or list, for that matter) could attract all kinds of inappropriate inclusions and get nuked. I wasn't really planning to build it myself, it just seemed like something potentially worth pursuing, for anyone so inclined. I can't say whether a list might be a better choice. DonIago (talk) 19:45, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, it could be. If it is, it justifies the category (and for 24:The Movie too). A student production might be set in one room because it's cheaper – that's not defining. Yet if Harold Pinter does it, it's going to be for some dramatic and defining purpose. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:55, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- I'd support a list, and would probably fit into this category with lists like this and this. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 19:55, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
