Talk:Muhammad in film

Cultural depictions of Muhammad?
I've started an approach at Cultural depictions of Joan of Arc that might make a good model for Wikipedia's other core biography articles. I see that Muhammad already has two pages about depictions. With respect for the inherent delicacy of such pages for Muhammad in particular, I'd like to invite the editors here to visit the other page, which is a featured list, and see whether its approach would benefit your efforts.

Innocence of Muslims
Should The Innocence of Muslims be added to this list? 69.62.243.48 (talk) 22:20, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Following the merge (see below), it is now covered in the article. It's not included in the list, but it certainly could be. --BDD (talk) 16:26, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

List of films about Muhammad → Muhammad in film – It's hard to assess some of the red links here, but from the titles they don't appear to be about Muhammad specifically. This broader title fits the article's current scope, and may allow for expansion. --BDD (talk) 19:04, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Oops—I just noticed Depictions of Muhammad in film. I would modify my proposal, then, to entail a merge of List of films about Muhammad and that article, under my new proposed title. Neither article is large enough that this should be problematic. I'll carry out the merge if this is successful. --BDD (talk) 19:06, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Support - I can see a great article coming out of merging these two together. Kept apart, the list almost seems like a fail as an article and neither would ever become anything of particularly good quality. MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:39, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.


 * ✅ with the merge. --BDD (talk) 16:25, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

L’Inferno
L’Inferno is the earliest film to ever feature Muhammad, and it’s not even a Muslim film, yet it is not mentioned in this article, though to be fair the depiction of Muhammad (which itself is based off the original Dante poem) was quite harsh. Nevertheless I see no reason not to include it here BosniaksLoreExpert (talk) 10:19, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Note: I am referring to the 1911 film, I have linked it incorrectly. BosniaksLoreExpert (talk) 10:22, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
