Battle of Ramelle

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

1) this is an article about a single scene from a movie and has no notability on it's own. 2) the 'battle' is entirely fictional and does not exist outside of the movie in question 3) the movie has its own article. 4) this is basically a line-by-line novelization of the movie scene and as such constitutes a copyright violation. --Lepeu1999 03:09, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment fixed nom (was missing afd2) cab 04:28, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Neutral on deletion, but if kept name should be change to something like Battle of Ramelle (fictional) or (fictional) Battle of Ramelle Citicat 05:44, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Overly detailed, blow-by-blow plot summary of a section of the film Saving Private Ryan. If anyone wants to know what happens, they can rent the movie. No impact in related fictional works, and no external impact, described. Delete, with option to recreate as redirect so that those searching for the fictional battle end up at the appropriate work of fiction. -- saberwyn 06:02, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:FICT and nom. Detailed plot summary, not really encyclopedic. The Ramelle sequence has been compared with certain real battles during the campaign by various writers, but a few notes to that effect in the film article are sufficient. -- Dhartung | Talk 08:34, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Merge/Redirect I think the movie is famous enough that many people will look this up to find out if was a real battle or not. That warrants keeping some reference to it available. Merging this or a much shortened version of it will at least let people with an interest know that it is fictional. Colincbn 16:16, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Saving Private Ryan. If it's merged, it needs a heavy rewrite, as it currently badly violates WP:WAF by writing about fictional events as if they actually happened.  This is confusing to people unfamiliar with the movie or who are just skimming the article. FiggyBee 09:20, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Saving Private Ryan and also preserve the edit history. If anyone wishes to properly recreate the article, having the edit history on hand would help.  -- Black Falcon 02:57, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
