Talk:Blue Lagoon: The Awakening

Director
IMDb only lists one director but I checked the opening credits for this film and it does list two directors: Mikael Salomon, Jake Newsome.

It is not clear why someone tried to wikilink Jake Newsome to the article for Eric Bross. -- 109.76.215.24 (talk) 20:20, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The Wikipedia article Eric Bross does not include any information about Jake Newsome. Buried in the IMDB trivia page for Eric Bross is a claim that Jake Newsome is a pseudonym that Eric Bross used for this film. IMDB allows user generated content, it is not a reliable source. It is a failure of WP:EGG to link from one name to a completely different name with no explanation, not even a comment in the wiki source. -- 109.76.215.24 (talk) 22:12, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
 * In case it is not already clear this link should not be added again without a reliable source. -- 109.76.215.24 (talk) 22:21, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The above mentioned edit removed a navbox for Eric Bross. It did not address the mentions of Eric Bross in the Production section which are not sourced, which I have tagged as Citation needed. Neither the claim that he was director or that he was replaced is properly sourced. -- 109.78.207.105 (talk) 06:48, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

I've said it before but the sourcing in this article is awful. Despite the credits only listing 2 directors an anonymous editor keeps making changes and refuses to discuss the concerns I listed above. Again there is no source to show Eric Bross ever worked on this film, that he was replaced, or that Jake Newsome was somehow a pseudonym for Eric Bross. The link to a video showreel from Eric Bross is not a good source, it is not even clear that Blue Lagoon is among the clips in that reel (timestamp?). Even if it did, then it would still be a WP:PRIMARY source, a text based source from a secondary source should be provided. If it can be shown that Jake Newsome was a pseudonym then it there should be an Explanatory footnote efn or reference beside it, there should not be a wikilink from one name to a completely different name without any explanation. -- 109.79.78.84 (talk) 20:42, 3 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I have removed the unsourced claims from the article. That showreel video failed verification and does not appear to support the claim that Eric Bross was connected to this film. His credits page does not make any mention of this film. I do not think the editor who keeps adding this understands the need for proper sources and to verify especially when people are in uncredited roles. -- 109.79.80.88 (talk) 01:14, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
