Filming of James Bond

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There's absolutely nothing in these articles that's not already covered in the individual film articles. In fact, almost all the text appears to have been copied directly from the film articles to these. Anything else someone would want to know about the production of James Bond can be found over at James Bond in film. These articles are useless and need to go a quickly as possible.

 * Terminate all with extreme prejudice. Utterly pointless to organize by decade, and it appears to be copied from other articles. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:55, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Can you explain why you think these topical scopes are warranted? Erik (talk &#124; contribs) 23:35, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * The idea was to begin a more detailed history series on James Bond in film focusing on the filming aspects. I agree at present they're redundant, but the idea was that each are expanded to cover more detail than in the current filming of article but none of us have got around to expanding them. I thought it would make interesting reading to have detailed studies of James Bond production and filming as an ongoing process rather than individually and an overall summary.♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:18, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Wow, so there's more detail about the filming of each movie? Why not have a sub-article for each film? The one example I can think of is Production of Watchmen. It would be in line with WP:SPLIT and WP:SUMMARY. My concern here is that grouping by decade is pretty arbitrary. Erik (talk &#124; contribs) 15:27, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
 * The reason being I wanted an article overview of James Bond production as a continuous process rather than individually for each film.♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:22, 5 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep The article James Bond in film covers the production efforts behind the films, James Bond filmography covers the actors portraying James Bond, it seems entirely reasonable to have an article covering the locations and photography. Perhaps it should be renamed James Bond movie locations and cinematography? I find the other article titles, filmography and James Bond in film, confusing also and in need of clarification. One if more like an article on Actors portraying James Bond in film and the other Production of James Bond films. Candleabracadabra (talk) 18:15, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I think Filming of James Bond is a better title, although Production of James Bond films also would be a very suitable title I think.♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:23, 5 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Reorganise. I think there is enough material held here and not elsewhere not to just delete, but - like Eric - I find the breaks a little too arbitrary, and think the articles could be reorganised and renamed. Grouping into films by each Bond seems a possible suggestion? - SchroCat (talk) 21:26, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes that might make sense but I was really trying to think of it as a history of James Bond film producing and initially it seemed by decade was the "encyclopedic" way to do it. I'd forgotten I'd created these soon after creation and had intended to further expand them. I think articles which focus on the filming and production as a continuous process is legitimate as an article subject but as Schrod says some reorganisation is really needed and some new content built in to make them less redundant. As Candle says, we could discuss filming locations and cinematography more, at present we only have a List of James Bond film locations ♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:21, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment. How does the actor affect the production end? IMO, James Bond in film has the right organizational breakdown: by producer. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:31, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes we know, Schrod wrote most of that article. James Bond history is generally divided into periods by Bond actor, that's why.♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:27, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
