Notability

Film notability is based primarily on published coverage. Two sources are cited in the article. The first leads to a is to a list of credits for the film. The second contains a synopsis, a few spectator reviews, a couple paragraphs about the screenwriters. So there's some coverage but not enough to satisfy WP:NFILM. I'll restore the notability tag to encourage editors to find and cite serious reviews and other coverage to both demonstrate notability and improve the article.

Hello,

The Stub template and the More sources template were already on the page and could have seemed enough (or have they no meaning at all?) and I don’t think the Notab template’s purpose is what you say (not to mention the fact that, in such a case, it induces other users to PROD pages that really are not the type of pages that should be prodded) but fair enough, I’ll put a few sources and remove it. — MY, OH, MY! 08:55, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for improving the article with better sources.

The notability tag, when not in multiple issues group, produces this text: " Please help to demonstrate the notability of the topic by citing reliable secondary sources that are independent of the topic and provide significant coverage of it beyond a mere trivial mention. If notability cannot be shown, the article is likely to be merged, redirected, or deleted." So I wonder what you think it's purpose is. You and I can not control how others respond to the tag. While I feel that PRODing every article tagged for notability is a bad approach, I also feel that removing the tag without identifying any new sources is also a bad approach.

Thank you. You are certainly right. What I meant was that the purpose of the Notability tag is to alert there is a certain type of issue (which is of a quite serious kind). Not just to make sure the page will be improved. Allow me to quote the TPL doc: 'Add this template to the top of any page whose article subject is, in your judgment, reasonably likely to be non-notable' Emphasis not mine. In the present case, it was very unlikely that a film associated with such names, even with 2 poor sources only, should turn out to be non-notable. And in such a case, I think the template was not serving the purpose for which it was, in my view, designed (and removing it without adding any source may not have been a great move but was not a bad one either, I find, considering). But, again, your whole explanation certainly makes sense and I thank you for your time. — MY, OH, MY! 22:08, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
