Talk:T. C. Christensen

Undue emphasis
Why is his religious preference mentioned in the first sentence? This is very unusual for a Wikipedia biography about a film maker. I mean, we don't say "so-and-so is a Jewish filmmaker" or a Catholic or Methodist filmmaker, etc. – such information may be included in the Personal Life section of a biography, but certainly not like this.

Now, if he's an LDS employee or producing films under contract with them, then it would be clearer to say he is a filmmaker for the LDS church. Otherwise, this is undue weight; it would be better to say something along the lines of, "several of his films have depicted Mormon themes".  JGHowes   talk  23:19, 5 June 2009 (UTC)


 * His religion comes into play because of the large number of films he has been involved with that are about Mormon topics, including some films actually done for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 20:56, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
 * It's the genre of film actually, I would argue. It isn't just that it is his faith/sect. The genre can be read about here, LDS cinema. He is not hired by the church, but makes films under the genre.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 03:39, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Chart
I will be working on making his filmography into a comprehensive chart that will be more organized. I just changed the formatting to be consistent throughout the list, but I will be working on a filmography chart.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 03:39, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Notability
Removing notability tag after running a news archive search. INDEPTH including profiles of this filmmaker exist, as do reviews of this films and feature stories. the archive of the Salt Lake Tribune is searchable and open access,here: Building up an eclectic legacy: Taking on diverse films, cinematographer stays on media's good side is just one example of what's out there. Articles needs sourcing, and I will change the age tags aaccordingly.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:15, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Note While that Deseret is sometimes disparaged as not an independent source for bios of Mormons, the profiles, reviews, etc. that it runs can be used to source the aritcle.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:20, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
