Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A Good Man (1941 film)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was procedural close per WP:TRAINWRECK. In addition to being an unmanageable nomination, none of the articles other than A Good Man (1941 film) were tagged for deletion. I noticed that José María y María José: Una pareja de hoy was nominated for deletion with WP:PROD. In addition to the one "keep" !vote here, these are unlikely to go without controversy if they are deleted citing WP:CSD#G7. I suggest going the standard route of using PROD where it can be applied and individual WP:AFD nominations where PROD has failed before. plicit 09:15, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This and the following unsourced empty placeholder sub stubs were created by me in 2009 to remove redirects and were never expanded. It is making the cleanup job much more difficult and would make the task easier if they were deleted, I cleanup the other content and then create the missing articles by director with proper content using the director templates. The stubs aren't being expanded by anybody and wouldn't be much of a loss if we delete them until they are recreated properly when the time is right. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:12, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment That's a bit many for one deletion request. Mixed opinion, suppose we can blank them and recreate later if needed. Oaktree b (talk) 21:30, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete All of these films have no citations supporting notability and were created by one editor back in the day. That editor is now requesting deletion and I concur. Wikipedia is not an IMdB mirror, and just existing as a film does not guarantee inclusion here. If at some point another editor wishes to re-create one or more of these films on Wikipedia there would be no prejudice against that, as long as notability is established at that time. But as they stand now they have been perma-stubs for over a dozen years and they are not encyclopedic at this point. DonaldD23 talk to me 03:05, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and expand. Did you do a WP:Before? Doing it for this many articles could take weeks. Anyhow, taking a look at the Spanish version of the articles (Vivir es formidable), it looks like notable critics reviewed the film, so the films must be notable. Leaning towards keep. This is not just for one of the articles -- see this. DareshMohan (talk) 03:07, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Did you not read why I want them deleted. Many of them can be expanded but the task is so big it's putting me off wanting to work on any article to do with this subject. It's a mess. So long term we lose out having these stubs because they deter me from wanting to bother with this. They will be recreated when the time is right, and I would keep a list of what would be deleted.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:07, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Delete, G7 - As the nom. has indicated, they created these as stubs themself. WP:BEFORE is irrelevant in this case as these all meet speedy deletion criterion WP:G7. Author requests deletion. They are stubs. No one else has added anything in 13 years. If anyone wanted to expand them, recreation is trivial and nothing is lost by the deletion. Credit must be given to the creator for both intending to expand the project but also seeking to clean up where expansion has not yielded benefits.
