Piz Palü in Inglourious Basterds

In an article that is only four paragraphs long, I personally feels that just one sentence mentioning the role of Piz Palü in Inglourious Basterds should be included. Wikipedia should be a place where one can find the most information about a subject as possible, and as Wikipedia doesn't have the space constraints of a paper-bound encyclopedia, adding one sentence of information wouldn't seem excessive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by B.b.schellenberg (talk • contribs) 06:54, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have no beef against a referenced and meaningful addition to this page. It's just that so far all the additions have been along the lines of "The White Hell of Pitz Palu is talked about in the film Inglourious Basterds by Quentin Tarantino." No reference, no detail as to what the mountain (as opposed to the Riefenstahl film) is up to in the film. Do we want to add to the Monet page the fact that the camera lingers on a painting by him on the cover of a book in an Ealing comedy, which the protagonists then chat about for a bit? Should we add this fact to the lily page as well?

What kind of mention do you think is best, and does the Tarantino film refer to both the Riefenstahl film and the mountain? If it's only the film being referred to then Tarantino has no place on the mountain page. If you look at the recent history of the The White Hell of Pitz Palu you'll see that a number of editors have removed the same info from there as "unencyclopaedic".

The relation between the mountain and the Inglorious Basterds movie is definitely a tangential one. The link to the Riefenstahl movie page (which could link to the Inglorious Basterds page) seems sufficient to me. ZachG (Talk) 14:24, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is possible to make a short mention of the appearance of Piz Palü in Inglorious Bastards in a trivia on the page. A lot of wikipedia pages do this/have this to my knowledge, and it would only add (a funny) note that probably the majority of the people won't mind. I even think most visitors of this Wikipedia page came here after seeing the movie Inglorious Bastards, wondering whether this mountain really exists. Thomvdv (talk) 10:38, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
