message: I've just removed an inappropriate reference to The Shawshank Redemption that was tacked on to the end of the lead section. Please bear in mind that this article is about the actual city Zihuatanejo in Mexico and all content on this page should be limited to information about the city itself - not any mentions made to the city in American (or other) films. As I put in the summary of my text removal: Would we make a point to list every single movie reference made to NYC in the wiki article for New York City? Nope.)
I have put a hidden comment at the beginning of the article text to hopefully dissuade the next Shawshank fan from adding this bit of non-notable trivia in the future. That comment will direct people HERE:
:Yes, the city of Zihuatanejo is the location Andy Dufresne talks about - and eventually moves to - in the film, The Shawshank Redemption. For additional information on this movie or this trivia within it, please visit the film's article. Please do NOT add a film reference to this article concerning the city of Zihuatanejo.
Thank you so much. ocrasaroon|</span>blah blah blah</span> 05:53, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I am a little puzzled by this logic. New York City is an internationally known tourist destination with many historical, cultural, architectural, and entertainment attractions. Each movie mentioning or set in New York impacts its tourism to a negligible degree. On the other hand, the film "The Shawshank Redemption" is the only reference I've ever heard of to the town of Zihuatanejo, and I imagine most Americans - and other non-Mexicans - have about the same experience with the town. I suspect most of the foreign tourism is attracted to the town by the movie. And, while New York's article may not list the movies that feature it, the article of my home town, Big Spring, Texas, does mention that it was featured in "Midnight Cowboy".

text: Agreed. It's not that such articles should not contain such references; it depends on things like how central to the plot it is, whether it influenced the public's perception of the article subject; etc. If it's just a throway mention, however, then it should not be included.
