Talk:Matt Shively

Removal of filmography
My rationale for removing the filmography is four-fold. First, it was woefully incomplete. The text mentioned a number of roles not included in the filmography. Second, the filmography lumped together films, video, Internet videos, voiceovers, and video game voiceovers. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information like that. Third, the WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers has very clear guidelines for including filmographies, how long they should be, whether new actors or actors with few projects should have them on their pages, and which projects should make it into the filmography. This article's filmography didn't meet any of those criteria. Fourth, none of the projects listed in the filmography contained citations, and hence violated Wikipedia's rule for verifiability.

I think by meeting Wikipedia's criteria, a good filmography for this very fine and handsome young comic actor could be created and included in the article. Until then, editors are doing Matt Shively a disservice by turning his article into nothing more than a fan page. - Tim1965 (talk) 14:25, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

PA4
It was appropriate to use the Dread Central reference before Paranormal Activity 4 came out. But there is no reason to keep it now. First, other (better) sources show Shively starred in the film. Second, Dread Central refers to a future activity. Changing the text to indicted a past activity (the film has already been released) mischaracterizes what the cite says. Since that's a no-no, the article should rely only on the other cites (which do indicate past activity). So out the reference goes. - Tim1965 (talk) 13:15, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
