| == Christian Manon (redux) == | |||
| I've already asked about ] at ], back in July but I didn't get any responses. I also asked about it at ] in July, and got one response suggesting AfD. I even tried at ] about two weeks ago, but no responses received there as of yet. I've been trying to find sources for Manon, but haven't had much luck. Most of what I did fine were just mentions by name in cast lists or credits, but nothing resembling significant coverage. Even for the role of "Mael" in the film '']'', which is what Manon's said to be most notable for, there's nothing in reliable sources other than mentions by name. There are fansites and other websites that mention Manon, but that's both independent and reliable. The article was recently protected because of Manon (I think) continuing to re-add unsourced bio information (Manon's primary account has been ]ed, but that will probably resume one the protection expires sometime later this week. The quandary, then, is that even though Manon appears to be a long-term working actor that has appeared in some well-known films and TV series, there's nothing to indicate that he's received any significant coverage for any of that or that he will anytime soon. The article was created by {{no ping|Cmanon}} back in 2006, and better sourcing hasn't been found at all since then. Would it be too much to nominate this for AfD given all that's been posted above? -- ] (]) 03:05, 12 November 2024 (UTC) | |||

| ::Perhaps I should've done so earlier, but I'd figure I make an effort to see whether any sources existed. The Australian version of the ''The Office'' also recently just started, and I thought there could be coverage on Manon's role in the show. That role, however, appears to be really minor even though it seems to span multiple episodes, and there's really nothing resembling significant coverage related to it. Even seems to recognize it as such; yet, the "Cmanon" account was used to add that information to the cast list of the article. -- ] (]) 04:36, 12 November 2024 (UTC) | |||

| The article ] has been ]  because of the following concern: | |||
| :'''Subject does not appear to be notable per ]; no ] found from multiple ]. Most cited sources talk about the movie '']'', and not about the subject of the article.

| Should an actor be labelled "retired" when they haven't had a role for several years and are elderly? Or should we require a published source that says they've retired or don't intend to act anymore or words to that effect? Recent edits to ] reminded me that I've wondered this before.

| :Normally I would opine when pinged, but in this case I am not able to because I'm not a horror fan (I loathe it) and the actress seems to have somewhat of a specialty in that genre. The horror film genre has its own specialization and its own subculture and its own notable/reliable sources & sites, which I am not aware of and am not able to judge one way or another because of lack of knowledge. I suggest involving some editors familiar with that genre. I applaud your decision to seek outside opinions in a case where you have had some previous dealings with the editor who created the article. Just as an aside, based on what I'm able to determine from the article, I do not personally believe the actress meets either ] or ]. Hope that helps. ] (]) 22:12, 29 August 2014 (UTC) | |||

| ] says, ''"Filmographies (and similar) of individuals should also not be included in navboxes, unless the individual concerned could be considered a primary creator of the material in question. This avoids over-proliferation of individuals' navboxes on each production's article, and avoids putting undue weight on the contributions of certain individuals over others."'' This means that we should not have navboxes listing writing or producing credits because these credits often have more than one person. I'm concerned that this has been ignored, judging from the bloat I see at ], which proves the point of the above guideline in creating bloat and misframing the person as the sole writer for the given set of films. ] (] | ]) <sup>(])</sup> 23:13, 1 December 2024 (UTC) | |||

| Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Misplaced Pages struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please ''']''' and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my ].

Christian Manon (redux)
I've already asked about Christian Manon at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers/Archive 18#Christian Manon, back in July but I didn't get any responses. I also asked about it at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Australian television#Christian Manon in July, and got one response suggesting AfD. I even tried at Talk:The Office (Australian TV series)#Christian Manon about two weeks ago, but no responses received there as of yet. I've been trying to find sources for Manon, but haven't had much luck. Most of what I did fine were just mentions by name in cast lists or credits, but nothing resembling significant coverage. Even for the role of "Mael" in the film Queen of the Damned, which is what Manon's said to be most notable for, there's nothing in reliable sources other than mentions by name. There are fansites and other websites that mention Manon, but that's both independent and reliable. The article was recently protected because of Manon (I think) continuing to re-add unsourced bio information (Manon's primary account has been WP:SOFTBLOCKed, but that will probably resume one the protection expires sometime later this week. The quandary, then, is that even though Manon appears to be a long-term working actor that has appeared in some well-known films and TV series, there's nothing to indicate that he's received any significant coverage for any of that or that he will anytime soon. The article was created by Cmanon back in 2006, and better sourcing hasn't been found at all since then. Would it be too much to nominate this for AfD given all that's been posted above? -- Marchjuly (talk) 03:05, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Sarah Vernon
I've been looking for a second source to sustain the notability of Sarah Vernon, daughter of the actor Richard Vernon, who was an actress and blogger. The Stage gave her are relatively full obituary that can be seen here, but I have searched in vain for a second source to make her at least a WP:Basic pass - the best I was able to find was this theatre programme. I've already done extensive Google searches and looked on the Internet Archive, but I don't have access to the British newspaper collection so there might be something there? Anyone suggest anywhere else I might look? Or should I just accept this one isn't notable? FOARP (talk) 16:40, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
When is an actor "retired"?
Should an actor be labelled "retired" when they haven't had a role for several years and are elderly? Or should we require a published source that says they've retired or don't intend to act anymore or words to that effect? Recent edits to Robert Wagner reminded me that I've wondered this before.

Reminder about WP:FILMNAV
WP:FILMNAV says, "Filmographies (and similar) of individuals should also not be included in navboxes, unless the individual concerned could be considered a primary creator of the material in question. This avoids over-proliferation of individuals' navboxes on each production's article, and avoids putting undue weight on the contributions of certain individuals over others." This means that we should not have navboxes listing writing or producing credits because these credits often have more than one person. I'm concerned that this has been ignored, judging from the bloat I see at Category:Film writer navigational boxes, which proves the point of the above guideline in creating bloat and misframing the person as the sole writer for the given set of films.
