James Bond films on television

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Complete and utter OR. Corvus cornix talk  05:30, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Every movie on TV gets editing, period. Bond movies are no exception. WP:OR and does anyone really care about a font face change during a movie opening?  Nate  • ( chatter ) 08:07, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete As the above poster noted, EVERY movie that later airs on TV gets edited (for time reasons to have commericals, cropped to fit 4:3 TVs, for content, etc.). At best, these could be mentioned in the individual movie articles, but even there this info could be considered cruft.  TJ   Spyke   16:35, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge notable examples with the main article on the film series. It's not OR because the edits themselves can be examined for verification (no different than examining a specific edition of a book). However as noted the fact a film is edited is not enough to make a viable article. There have been some major examples of edits, particularly with the original showing of OHMSS, and the fact it's well known that ABC for some reason treated Bond films differently than other movies - to the extent of event using a unique disclaimer addressed at parents - because of the family-friendly stereotype attached to the films. Alternately, just the ABC treatment of Bond could be incorporated into the main film article with the bit about the reediting of OHMSS into a miniseries could be moved to the film article (though I believe it's already discussed there). 23skidoo (talk) 18:36, 24 September 2008 (UTC) Delete - I thought some of these examples look familiar -- I wrote them for the IMDb. Most if not all of this article is one big copyvio from IMDb. 23skidoo (talk) 18:42, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as unsourced violation of WP:OR and WP:COPYVIO.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 03:47, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, per above. Also, I don't know what ABC the author was referring to -- the author mentioned that the iconic gun-barrel opening was edited out in some films, though, when I watched the films on ABC (in the US), they always shown the opening. Also, in the US, it was not the ABC Bond Picture Show, it was seen on the "ABC Friday (usually) Night Movie". -- azumanga (talk) 23:56, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete mainly because of lack of references. SkierRMH  ( talk ) 23:08, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
