Tone

I have attempted to wikify this a bit. It read too much like a promotional piece and still needs more references. The chronology was also out of order. NZ forever (talk) 03:21, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

11 years later, it's still lacking references, and still reads like an essay written by a fan rather than an encyclopaedic article. Much of the observation and analysis in this article seems be original research, including the entire last section on themes in his films. I also wonder whether it was written by someone who didn't have English as a first language, as some of the language used is quite strange. I'm hesitant to make large-scale removals of content as this is such a nice article, but it's just not suitable for Wikipedia at present. Robofish (talk) 20:31, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Vincent Ward → Vincent Ward (director) – The American actor, Vincent M. Ward, who is also known as Vincent Ward, has page views as high as this article. Hence, this is not the primary topic. Schwede 66 17:37, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom, replace with disambiguation page -- 70.50.148.122 (talk) 06:01, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Note that I've written a dab page that should be moved over the redirect if the move goes ahead: Vincent Ward (disambiguation) Schwede 66 08:52, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support No clear primary topic and there's also the (less viewed) Vincent Ward (politician), a disambiguation page is clearly needed at Vincent Ward. benmoore 19:38, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
