Requested move 1 October 2016

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Opposes uncountered, title(s) stand, not moved. (non-admin closure) — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 05:31, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

– The Baudelaire Fortune moved the franchise page without considering the RM consensus three years ago. I reverted it back, so I start another RM for proper procedure. This affected the statistics, in contrast with previous way. As for primacy, while WP:DABCONCEPT implies that the franchise is the broad concept and primary topic, statistics may prove that neither is primary at all. George Ho (talk) 00:06, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. A page was moved inappropriately according to consensus and was reverted. No action is necessary. The franchise is far and away the best topic to have at undisambiguated "Final Destination". Nohomersryan (talk) 00:25, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 23:51, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Boilerplate "compared to high grossing horror franchises"

Discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film#Boilerplate "compared to high grossing horror franchises" jnestorius^(talk) 11:23, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Death personified

I've a problem with the description of the film as being about "Death personified" as there is no person, there is no skeletal figure with a scythe, no angel of death. It is death in the abstract, an "invisible antagonist", a force of nature. It might be more accurate to say it is the manifestation of death, like a strong wind we clearly see the consequences without seeing the wind itself. The article needs better more careful phrasing. -- 37.110.218.43 (talk) 11:44, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ratings

WP:FILMRATINGS says not to include film ratings. For some reason this article ignores the guidelines and includes a table of ratings anyway. There does not appear to be anything notable (or even interesting) about the ratings. Why does this article includes a ratings table? -- 109.77.214.141 (talk) 23:47, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the table.[1] I can only guess that someone added it in good faith unaware of WP:FILMRATINGS, but still it should at least have been properly referenced WP:V. If someone really wants to add it back they should find references to show the ratings were notable WP:N. -- 109.78.202.222 (talk) 16:07, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
