Talk:Roy (film)

Facebook page
Personally, I don't like having Facebook pages on Wikipedia articles unless they are the primary "official" web page and there is no "official web site" with its own custom URL.

This film has what looks like a non-official Facebook page being used as a reference. Unfortunately, I can't just remove it, it may actually be in use as a reference. This unofficial page links back to Wikipedia, calling this very article the official web site for the film (!).

Once it is proven that this presumably-non-official Facebook page is not needed to back up the content of the article, it should be removed.

I have added the official Facebook page to the bottom in an "external links" page. Ideally, it would be replaced by an official web site placed in the infobox.

Wikipedia is not for promoting the subjects it covers. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  18:08, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Films that have not yet begun shooting
In general, films that have not yet started shooting are not considered notable under WP:FILM. The only reason that I have not nominated this for deletion is 1) there are enough references that it would probably pass as either "no consensus" or possibly "keep" in a deletion discussion, with grounds for keeping that it arguably passes WP:GNG, and 2) it would be WP:POINTY as it will almost certainly pass either WP:FILM or WP:GNG in a matter of months if not weeks, if it does not already do so.

Still, it would have been better for Wikipedia to wait until principle photography had started before creating this article. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  21:20, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

 * @Materialscientist: It looks like http://www.royfilm.com/ is a website for the film, although it's in blog format rather than a traditional website. You've rejected this link before. Any reason not to add it as an EL? —C.Fred (talk) 19:15, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
 * From what I can tell (outlined in the section above), this appears to be a WP:FANSITE that has no affiliation with the actual film. It is likely that the editor adding the link (as well as the many sock puppets) have a WP:COI. I also have slight concerns about WP:LINKVIO with the free MP3 download and watch online buttons (although the watch online part probably doesn't matter yet since the film is not yet released).
