Talk:Films and television shows produced in Wilmington, North Carolina

Refimprove template
This article has a huge amount of cites to imdb. Per WP:IMDB, that sucks. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:15, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

Requested move 11 January 2023

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 

The result of the move request was: no consensus. after a month of discussion. Perhaps article scope and page structure (article vs. list) will become clearer after bolstering the page's sources and reworking the page, as mentioned below and discussed in the AfD. A move discussion after that may prove more fruitful. (non-admin closure) Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 18:16, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Films and television shows produced in Wilmington, North Carolina → ? – Films and television shows produced in Wilmington, North Carolina → List of films and television shows shot in Wilmington, North Carolina or Film and television shot in Wilmington, North Carolina (,North Carolina can be added to the ends if both titles are too vague).

The new title would be more in sync with other articles pertaining to the same subject (ex. List of films shot in Palm Springs, California and List of films shot in Pittsburgh). As well as that, the word "shot" I think is better than the word "produced" in this situation. DiscoA340 (talk) 23:47, 11 January 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.

 * Weak oppose. My first instinct was that this probably doesn't pass WP:LISTN. Reading the above AfD, it appears others agree with me that while this is probably a notable topic, it doesn't really need to be in list form (especially because it has a giant amount of IMDb cites). So, imo, a rework should be preferred over a rename. (I would also oppose dropping North Carolina. There are definitely at least a few movies and TV shows shot in Wilmington, DE even if it's not as common.) Nohomersryan (talk) 01:53, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
 * There is no difference between this article and others listing major films shot there (only the name which is why I requested this move). The current name caused confusion which prompted the AfD (quote from the nominator); "This is the only article that starts with "Films and television shows produced in..."' As far as the IMDb references go, almost all of them were legacy citations and had been or were easy to replace without changing the information. DiscoA340 (talk) 03:34, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I think that, while wordy, the "films and television shows produced in..." titling is not that far out. There are plenty of articles under the similarly-titled "Film industry in...", like Georgia's article which IMO is preferrable to a list format. There are a dozen or so "list of films shot in/at blahblahblah" articles, true, but I suspect not all of them would survive afd, especially because it would open the floodgates to making a "list of movies shot in [x]" article for everywhere.

 * That is true, but I believe that title should be reserved for state/country level articles only (though I may be wrong). While yes, there are many smaller places which have dedicated articles, but I doubt it would open huge floodgates if most were kept. What sets Wilmington apart from being one of those places is it's the biggest film industry in the state and one of the biggest in the region and the country; last year the industry made around 250 million. I know it's throwing another title into the ring but would "Film and television in Wilmington, North Carolina" be a better name? DiscoA340 (talk) 04:47, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
