Mentioning The Black List?

Okay then, tell me how a movie being on a list of screenplays not released in 2020 is in anyway relevant or notable, and not the stupidest piece of trivia ever? Hey, the movie also didn't come out in 1962, we should include that fact too, right?! If you think that information is relevant, then you need to create a consensus to have this piece of information included on every page of every movie that was ever on this list instead of starting an edit war. I'm guessing you're involved in the company in some way to insist on this.

The Black List is a significant list of unproduced scripts that has been covered by many mainstream sources to the point where it is notable just to be on the list. This is not just a mention that the script existed in 2020, but that it received enough buzz to be included on a very specific industry list. This content is usually included in reports of the film and not just as a one-off mention. It would be appropriate to include here as it indicates why this particular film is notable.

Then why don't you go include it on every single film pages? Why edit war over these two pages?

Your edit was reverted because you did not explain why you removed sourced content. You need to seek consensus now about this article. BOVINEBOY2008 00:36, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't even attempt to answer the question. Can't get consensus if you're not going to address the issue.

You haven't asked a question about this article that I haven't answered. Being included on this list is part of what makes this film notable and hence it is included. Whether other articles include the information or not is not what we are discussing. And the info had been included by many other editors on this article making it a standing consensus. You have made the bold edit without good reason. BOVINEBOY2008 00:40, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, "this article." Getting all semantic here. Okay, let me rephrase for your pedantry then. Why is this piece of information notable to "this" specific article but not to any other of the other hundreds of films that were also on this list. And this info was not included by "many other editors." There was literally ONE editor who included it. ONE. And he's retired. And the fact that you have to lie to try to make your point confirms that you're wrong.

Being the Black List is included on the article for American Hustle, Spotlight, and Hell or High Water, and I'm sure others that I'm not interested in finding. The info was added by Bruno Rene Vargas, but several other editors have made edits to the article and have not removed it. You are the only one. You have not proposed a reason that it shouldn't be included other than you feel it is trivia. BOVINEBOY2008 00:50, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so three out of like what, 500? The consensus so far is very clear that this information is not notable enough to be included. If you feel otherwise, then you need to get consensus. And I'd love to see how well your argument of "an edit was made that didn't remove vandalism, therefore it's the consensus and it stays," would really hold up if anyone actually cared about this. You have not proposed a reason that it should be included other than you feel it's not trivia.

Let's go ahead and get some more opinions then, I'll leave a message at WP:FILM. BOVINEBOY2008 01:10, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Summoned from the WP:FILM notice. Given that The Black List (survey) is evidently notable enough to have had its own article since 2010 and the article has never, as near as I can tell, been considered for deletion, it seems reasonable enough to include mention of it in the appropriate articles. DonIago (talk) 13:01, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And the Teen Choice Award for Choice Movie – Comedy is evidently notable enough to have its own article. But we don't go including it on every single movie page that was nominated. That's not the standard used for notability. I, quite frankly, don't care enough to debate over the merits or legitimacy of the Black List, that's a separate topic. What I ask instead is that you just look at the article of this page and tell me that statement isn't out of place and that it's perfectly fine to be included in the article the way it is. TheSnowyMountains (talk) 14:47, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't be surprised if films nominated for that award do mention the nomination in their list of accolades. As for this specific instance...given the brevity of the article, I'm not seeing the issue at this time. I would assume as more information for the film is published here that information may be relocated. DonIago (talk) 16:42, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To me, the fact that this article is so brief is why this insignificant detail sticks out so much. And it looks like someone has already come in and re-worded it to read less abhorrently. So I'm tapping out, annoyed that something so stupid even got to this point, just because BovineBoy wanted to go on a power trip. TheSnowyMountains (talk) 17:02, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
