Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/List of notable films

message: There are a great many films on this list that already have fairly comprehensive articles. Are they still on the list simply because they need infoboxes? --The Famous Movie Director 14:15, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Some of them are, yes. My personal opinion on the subject is that it's better to keep a film on the lists if there's something that could be fairly easily improved on its article, such as adding an infobox. This way, it's easier to find articles about movies deemed notable by an independent source that 'deserve' a more comprehensive article. - Bobet 15:10, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. I concur. It's notable, however, that the similar pages for lists of notable albums on this WikiProject doesn't seem to include albums that have pages but not infoboxes. --The Famous Movie Director 01:09, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought they did in fact add infoboxes to all the pages missing them. The people doing the infobox additions just have been so effective that you don't see them on the list anymore, unlike in here (see for example this edit) :) - Bobet 15:43, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I have added a search template to the list with links to imdb, google search, google wikipedia search and wikipedia search.  If you click on the imdb link and you think you may have found the wrong movie (especially foreign movies), check for alternate titles which are right after the main credits at IMDB.  I was really confused the first time I used it, but it should be there.  --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 00:54, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Search template

message: One option not yet discussed it to create multiple notable film lists similar to the way the politicians list is organized.  We can have our notable film list, directors list, studio movies list and whatever other movies are out there.  There are two problems though: different standards for different lists and duplicates.  It may make sense to have different criteria for "notable" films compared with a terrible studio film from 1956.  As far as pruning, I do lots of pruning and am fairly good/fast at it, but I would like to avoid doing it if possible.  Perhaps we can organize some sort of "completed" movies so that they do not need to be vetted every time they are added to the list.  
Another list option might be to collect the top 500 voted-on movies at imdb and other locations.  Might not get the best movies, but it would definitely be notable (popular) movies.  I unfortunately don't have the wikitime I would like to devote to the project but I could definitely get it started. --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 15:48, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Multiple movie lists

message: Hi, I just found this page from Project Films talk. I hope awarded films are part of critical acclaim. As part of a round of refining the years in film articles, I have added through the years several more awards, and probably will include some more in the future. For one, I am waiting to see if the BAFTA awards will develop articles on all the years, to add them too. We have also a list of Sundance Film Festival winners (from '85 on), but I wouldn't start with other International Festivals (New York, Toronto, etc) which do not have lists of winners. I know there is a lot of interest for wide release films, but giving also attention to awards, the pages become more balanced and address a wider audience. I use unlinked text for repeated winners, linking always the most important mention. I put a link to all missing articles and they can be seen bold-italic-red. I think there should be a priority for stub making there. I try some, but I'm slow in such edits. I hope it's OK if they stay red until started, because if they are turned to unlinked text, they be confused with unlinked repeated winners. Hoverfish 16:06, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Awarded films 

message: I post here too, since it is very relevant, that I have recently started the Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/List of films without article, where I collect all films titles I find on my way given in red. I hope you find it useful. I intend to mark in the list all the awarded films with their award, as soon as I finish putting the awards in the years in film. Hoverfish 16:12, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Working on interlanguages links made me realize that most of the world's films are not covered by the English wikipedia, more work to be done here, please help translating from the languages you know. Cheers Nicolas1981 (talk) 23:07, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
