Talk:Horror Island (film)

VP's voice

Here are the problems with trying to add this info.

IMDb cannot be used as a source per WP:RS. The information in the flubs and trivia sections is added by anyone and though it has to be submitted and looked at before showing up on a films page there is almost no fact checking done by the people who vet submissions. It should also be noted that VP has not been added to the cast list - it is only in the trivia section.
I can find no info on about a "Midnight Madness-Issue 37" or Benton Costwood anywhere on the net. Of course, that does not mean that the magazine (or other media) or the author don't exist. It just means that we cannot check them so there are WP:V problems. Also without a track record of published materials Mr Costwood writings may not meet WikiP's requirements for inclusion as a source.
VP's voice is distinctive but that also makes it easy to imitate. That disquaifies watching the film, aside from the WP:OR problems, as the determining factor in adding the info. BTW, Mr Costwood could have fallen into that trap.
In the early 40's he was still doing as much work on stage as in film and he had not yet gone whole hog into the horror genre. It was almost a decade before that would happen.

All of this is not to say that the info might not be correct but we are going to need something that meets Wikipedia's requirements for inclusion and I don't think that we have that at this time. MarnetteD | Talk 04:22, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Update-If "Midnight Madness-Issue 37" is a fan produced item that I really don't think that it meets WP:RS requirments. MarnetteD | Talk 04:39, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
