Talk:List of Nickelodeon original films

message: It might be a good idea to move this to a different title, such as List of Nickelodeon original movies or the like. --Coredesat 05:34, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Article title

message: Does anyone remember there being a AYAOTD movie? I recall this, with the kids around the campfire being involved in the actual story... but I can't find any traces of this anywhere, on Wikipedia or otherwise. 68.210.227.229 (talk) 16:09, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I remember watching it when it aired. It turns out it was the first three episodes of the seventh season- The Tale of the Silver Sight, parts 1, 2, & 3. It was definitely advertised as a movie when it was first broadcast. I'll add it to the list as Are You Afraid of the Dark: The Tale of the Silver Sight unless anyone has serious qualms.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gold1618 (talk • contribs) 12:25, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

message: Pinwheel Channel adopted the Nickelodeon name on April 1, 1979, as soon as it expanded to buffalo. The circumstances about Nick being known as Pinwheel until 1981 is incorrect. Newspapers were made in 1979 about Nick, in fact, the channel wasn't even called Pinwheel.
Here's a newspaper article from 1979 that states this.

message: Crybaby Lane. Apparentally, it scared a bunch of children, and it hasn't been aired since. Multiverseman (talk) 22:37, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: /X/ has been pretty worked up lately about this one movie that Nick aired

message: This list should contain films that are unique in some aspect to Nickelodeon. Listing movies like Toy Story and Adventures in Babysitting is pretty trivial information and as useless as a list of films broadcast by HBO. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 23:17, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree; the list of non-Nickelodeon movies aired has been a large target for vandalism in the past months and the ones listed might be wrong.--Caldorwards4 (talk) 23:30, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I do hate to revive old discussions, but this list is for 'Films that were broadcasted by Nickelodeon', which would include non-Nickelodeon movies. -- »»»DavidTwo2012«««  17:45, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Original movies 

message: This list contains/has contained in the past many entries that are out of the announced Scope of this article – e.g. all of the two-episode, one-hour "special" episodes of Nickelodeon series. These aren't "films", which is the declared scope of this article. (And even if Nickelodeon declared them as "films", we would require Reliable sourcing to show that before including them here...) As such, they should be removed from the list here, and several editors are beginning the process of doing so. 
In addition, the true "film" entries included in this list are seriously under-sourced. I'm beginning the process of adding sourcing to the true "Nickelodeon Original Films" such as Jinxed and Nicky Deuce, etc. But it is very likely that the entries in this list that are simply Nickelodeon "rebroadcasts" of theatrical films (e.g. The Last Airbender, Free Willy) will not be sourceable. I haven't gotten to those yet, but if I can't find sourcing for those, I am going to start adding  tags to them as a precursor to potentially removing them from the list for failing to adhere to Wikipedia's Verifiability policy. 
Let me state up front that I agree with the posters in the thread before this one, that the focus of this list should be narrowed to just a listing of Nickelodeon Original Films. But let's see if anything else in this list can be properly sourced first... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 04:31, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm just noting: this from The Futon Critic. Everything in this list is tagged as a "Special". I note that movies, such a Rufus and Liar, Liar Vampire are not included. It may be that anything included in this Futon Critic list should not be included in the article... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:24, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  That listing looks to be for what Nick classed and advertised as specials. I don't see anything there that looks like television movies or theatrically released movies being shown on television. What is in list looks out-of-scope for this article.

text: Good call. I should have added an 'Under construction' tag to this article (I'll do that now) – but I'm still in the process of going through the list and trimming it down (the last couple of days I've been prevented from doing more on this by real-world work stuff...) but it's slow-going as I'm having to check the episodes of a lot of (animated) shows that I have never seen. And the IPs trying to undo all of this (including the removal of recently added sourcing) without any discussion is really unhelpful. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:39, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

message: After some investigation, I have found some sources that mention Alex & Me, which Nickelodeon will broadcast soon: , , , . The first and last sources make clear that this film was produced by Warner Brothers, not Nickelodeon, and was released as a direct-to-video film back in June. Thus, the Nickelodeon broadcast is nothing more than a cable TV reairing of a film that has already been released. That puts it out of WP:SCOPE for this article, as this list is simply for films that have their premieres on Nickelodeon – which are generally just so-called "Nickelodeon original films" (which this film is not). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:23, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Also note that Nickelodeon advertisements for this did not refer to it as a "Nickelodeon Original Movie". --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:32, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

message: Does SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout count as a Nickelodeon original movie?
: No – it was not marketed as such, and I have seen no source refer to it as such. Instead, it was a "special". --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:08, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout 

message: Over the last couple of weeks, a few IPs have been removing these two, and claiming they are not TV films. The sources cited for both beg to differ. All of these IP edits have been reverted. If further discussion is needed regarding the status of these two entries, it should be here. And any claims that these are not TV films need to be backed by reliable sources and presented here if discussed (otherwise, these IP claims are original research). As for whether they are Nickelodeon films, I'm seeing in the article for Snow Day that it was produced by Nickelodeon Productions. Don't know about the other one, though the sources hint at it, at least. MPFitz1968 (talk) 17:27, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
