Talk:Uninsured in America

POV
This page needs more data on how the 8 million figure of uninsured Americans is arrived at to make it more balanced.

Merger with Stuart Browning
This page should not be merged with the Stuart Browning page. The man is separate from the art that he creates. Mr. Browning has worked on a number of other films, and written a number of articles about health care as well as education in America. Since he is still alive, I would expect more material to be produced by Mr. Browning that would be notable.
 * Those aren't reasons why they should not be put onto his article as opposed to having separate articles. See James Crump, for instance.  I agree Browning is notable, but whether each of his films are notable need to pass WP:Notability for them to have stand-alone articles, and Google results don't necessarily indicate this.  -- David  Shankbone  20:16, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * What about Ross McElwee and his films? Time Indefinite, Charleen among others? I'm just claiming that there isn't a hard and fast rule here. Now if Mr Browning was a one trick pony and only producing health care films, maybe that would make sense. I'd also like to hear from THF who created these pages in the first place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.171.180.101 (talk) 21:05, August 28, 2007 (UTC)


 * I think it's possible to find reliable sources discussing the films--I think there's even one on the Stuart Browning page, and once that's done there won't be a question of notability. It may be better to move all the health films (many of which don't have articles yet) into a single Free Market Cure Video Series article, given that they are all related shorts, and generally all discussed together when discussed in the press. Separately, please review WP:TALK: you should sign your talk-page comments with four tildes to avoid confusion. THF 21:47, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * That may be a solution. These films, especially the Brainwashed one, which is barely a film at 46 minutes, don't seem deserving of their own pages.  But we'd need to find WP:V citations for this series for it to have its own article, as opposed to being on Browning's page also.  -- David  Shankbone  22:02, 28 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Merging these film pages seems counter to searching and separation of information. If the films are in fact only filmed, produced, edited, distributed by Mr. Browning then placing them all on his page may make sense. But if these films have more information in them to be called out, then I disagree. I could definately see lumping the 4 short films Free Market Cure Video Series together though. THF is right, when I've googled for Stuart Brownings, these films are all spoken of in the same articles. Also since this is a relatively new article I think some additional time should be allowed for it to be filled out with more information before it becomes a merger candidate. 207.171.180.101 23:27, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but that's not the way things work on Wikipedia. It has to be WP:Notable now.  We don't have a WP:Crystal ball to see what will happen in the future; otherwise, we'd litter the project with things that might happen.  9 minutes doesn't make it a film, but an infomercial.  -- David  Shankbone  00:40, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * On the other hand, Uninsured In America is a mere 9 minutes. Does a 9 minute film rate it's own page? Now I'm not so sure. 207.171.180.101 23:43, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Redirected
I've redirected this to Stuart Browning and put the information there. This clearly does not even merit discussion, and if the article is recreated I will do a speedy delete. Let's not abuse Wikipedia with Agenda articles, please. -- David  Shankbone  02:28, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
