List of Rise of the Planet of the Apes references to original film series

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Indiscriminate list of trivia. Was moved from the main article. This is better suited for the series' Wikia, as I don't see any encyclopedic value to this list for Wikipedia. — Mike  Allen   20:15, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete as a trivial topic that is dependent on just one source, which could have been used as an external link in the film article. Article creator even admits to gaming the system with the initial edit summary of "absconded from film article". Erik (talk &#124; contribs) 20:30, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe "absconded" is the wrong verb, but WP:Splitting requires a descriptive edit summary that links back to the source page. Flatscan (talk) 04:49, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge to Rise of the Planet of the Apes - Looks like good info but does not need it's own page. RomeEonBmbo (talk) 21:09, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually no it doesn't. It was removed (more than once and discussion is on the film's talk page) from the main article so the editor moved it to its own article.  Why would we need a list of trivia in an encyclopedia?  Mine and your understanding of an encyclopedia is very different. — Mike   Allen   21:24, 29 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge Delete the info without citations and add as a brief section in the films page.David copperson (talk) 22:26, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete patently trivial. Don't merge it back into the main article--it was (quite rightly) removed from there. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  23:24, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge A point-by-point list of how a remake differs from the original is a perfectly fine topic. It should probably be covered in narrative, rather than list form, but the majority of these things should probably be included in a discussion of the film(s). Light on secondary sources at the moment, but probably repairable as the coverage continues to develop. Jclemens (talk) 01:56, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete or carefully merge this is - by definition - plot summary. Some of the material could be of use in the Rise of the Planet of the Apes article, but if this is merged it shouldn't be done clumsily as a giant copy/paste. It should only include relevant and verified material, preferably discussed in prose format.  Them From  Space  02:57, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Erik's point about the external link is well taken. Another option would be to delete this and add the EL to the other article.  Them From  Space  02:59, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete or summarize and merge better to cover it as a brief paragraph rather than a list. Too much original research. Dzlife (talk) 17:40, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge/delete. Exactly what Dzlife said. Neutralitytalk 00:48, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, this is simply a list of trivia, and the title is not a useful redirect. I don't see how it can be used to expand Rise of the Planet of the Apes without just dumping the entire list back. Even if some content is used, there is no need to follow WP:Merging, as the original source of this text is of Rise of the Planet of the Apes,  and with .
