 * WP:INFO WP:INDISCRIMINATE, and pbs.org and kpbs.org may be primary sources. Furthermore, urban gardening and edible schoolyard (among others), are not "specific places". Also, "and more" is in WP:WTA.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 20:09, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for noting the error. It doesn't resolve my WP:INDISCRIMINATE concerns, and that the information may be derived from primary sources.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 19:12, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Why? There is no guideline which even suggests that a raw list of interviewees of a documentary is appropriate.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 04:31, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
 * You have still not given a reason why, contrary to WP:FILM guidelines, a raw cast list should be used. The guidelines don't apply well to documentaries, but suggest that the people named should be linked if given, but should not be given unless helpful to explain the film.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk)

I feel the inclusion of the cast members/interviewees adds to the context of the film and provides relevance based on the subject matter and expertise of the individuals. It does help explain the nature and depth of the film, since the submitted entry is so brief. I would like to make additions to this page, but it is protected. please advise.
