message: , we are not an indiscriminate provider of information; everything here should be encyclopaedic in nature. Providing cast names in the running prose of a plot summary not only gives context (actors and characters mentioned together aids understanding of who played what, versus cross referencing the prose with a later list), and also ensures that only names which are actually important enough to warrant mentioning are listed. It also circumvents the fact that bulleted cast lists are often entirely unsourced, whereas cast-in-plot mentions demonstrate that we're using the primary source of the article for it. Trying to replicate IMDb does not improve the quality, readability or usefulness of any of our articles. SLIGHTLYmad  04:24, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: While inclusion of names in the plot can be helpful, in a case of a movie like this it is not going to necessarily lay out all the minor but not trivial roles or the noted people that starred in them. For example, there's no mention of Richard Stack's character in the current plot. Cast sections are nearly required, they are not considered duplicative of the plot's cast names. --MASEM (t) 11:59, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree with Masem. Cast lists are not only useful, but are not prohibited in WP:CASTLIST.--JOJ Hutton 13:23, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I will add that I think in this case, we can do with a mix of a cast list for the main characters, and a prose list to identify cameos, etc. which might help alleviate issues. --MASEM (t) 14:42, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

message: The Finnish article :fi:Hei, me lennetään! states that the Finnish name for this film, Hei, me lennetään! ("Hey, we are flying!") inspired many other such Finnish names starting with Hei, me... for several other, unrelated films. Is this worth mentioning in this article?
