Talk:Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Foundation

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because the foundation is responsible for curating and archiving German films from 1900 to 1960, a major portion of the film heritage of the nation of Germany. --Pseudo-Richard (talk) 22:06, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I know this is quite old, but I want to insert this here in case a conversation like this crops up again: WP:MOVIE. As per these guidelines this stub clearly satisfies notability requirements. So, if you are tempted to delete this page, in my mind you're obligated to learn some German and work towards improving the article before that. Until then, you're just grasping at false consensus.

Capitalized Titles
I almost changed the titles of the films listed to conventional capitalizations, however, I figure there must be a good reason for this: are the films correctly written in all caps? Or should someone change this? ShAsHi SuShIlA mUrRaY 00:23, 1 November 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shashi Sushila Murray (talk • contribs)

Compare article's text to this archive (and other pages) as much of it seems to be close to plagiarism.
 * Write drafts
 * I found the actual source of the plagiarism. It's the machine translated version of their "about the foundation" page: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.murnau-stiftung.de%2Fstiftung&edit-text=&act=url — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shashi Sushila Murray (talk • contribs) 23:27, 1 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Reorganized prose into new created categories
 * When you're done working on the page, alert the only two active users from the German Cinema Task Force: JanderVK and Lugnuts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shashi Sushila Murray (talk • contribs) 22:55, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
