Talk:Scorched (2003 film)

Box office bomb (Double rv)
The article currently contains two paragraphs starting with the phrase "The film was notable as a major box office bomb." This is not a conclusion supported by Box Office Mojo as claimed by Big Bird since that site merely reports raw numbers, it did not call the movie a bomb or similar term, and there is no commonly accepted definition of "box office bomb" from which to draw such a conclusion. To claim something is notable you must provide a reference showing that someone made note of it, in other words find a reliable source describing the movie as a bomb. Given the lack of evidence of notability, this passage does not bear repeating in the lead section and I'm removing it from there and adding a tag to the other section where it occurs. I have no objection to removing the tag and putting the passage back in the lead once proper references for the statement are found.--RDBury (talk) 15:27, 25 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I've removed both instances of the phrase "Box office bomb" and refrained from using the term "notable". The blurb about the performance should be included in the lead paragraph per WP:LEAD and beacuse it was this fact that caused the article to be featured in the WP:DYK section of the main page.
