Fantastic Four (movie)
There are two different movies, each of which has their own article. I don't see why we need a disambig to differentiate between them, nor should we redirect this to either movie article since both are valid. So I suggest we delete it. feitclub 06:26, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. If you delete it, someone will just recreate it again because they likely won't know that there were two Fantastic Four movies, and so won't know to look under Fantastic Four (2005 film).  However, I think there is good reason to just redirect Fantastic Four (movie) to the 2005 version, and then include a see also at the very top to link to the unreleased one.  No need to treat them equally.  Postdlf 06:33, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm also fine with redirecting to Fantastic Four (disambiguation). Postdlf 16:25, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep It doesn't do any harm. Deletion is pointless. CalJW 06:50, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Needs rewriting but it seems useful as it is. Poli 07:14, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup. --Angr/undefined 07:17, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Fantastic Four (2005 film) into its own section. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 08:05, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge both the 1994 and 2005 films into this space per The Punisher (movie) and redirect their old articles here. Nateji77 08:56, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Perfectly normal disambiguation page.  &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 08:56, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Useful disambiguation. Sjakkalle (Check!)  09:10, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC) Redirect per Uncle G is better since this was a duplicate. Otherwise this would have been perfectly valid. Sjakkalle  (Check!)  06:30, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Useful page. Capitalistroadster 11:19, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I point out to all of the above editors talking about disambiguation the existence of Fantastic Four (disambiguation). There is no need to have two of them.  The only reason for the existence of this page is that it is where Fantastic Four (2005 film) used to be.  The redirect that was left behind was, bizarrely, turned into a disambiguation between two of the things that Fantastic Four (disambiguation) already disambiguates between.  There is nothing to merge.  The various hypotheses and rumours about why the first film was never released are already mentioned, without citing sources of course (heaven forfend!), at Fantastic Four (1994 movie).  Redirect to Fantastic Four (disambiguation), if you really think that people are likely to re-create this article (which doesn't seem that likely to me &mdash; Editors will go to Fantastic Four and thence to Fantastic Four (disambiguation) and thus find the existing articles.). Delete otherwise, as per the comment of the article's creator on its talk page. Uncle G 11:54, 2005 Jun 14 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Fantastic Four (disambiguation) as per above 23skidoo 12:22, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * As usual, Uncle G explains it perfectly. Delete Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 14:27, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as a Redirect to the existing disambiguation page. Since "________ (movie)" is a common method of distinguishing movies from their other-media counterparts, it can be expected that this will be typed in now and then.  Redirects are cheap.  -- Un focused 15:31, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect as per Uncle G. -- Jonel 16:27, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
