List of Bollywood Movies inspired from English Movies

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Bollywood films and plagiarism covers the topic. This list is purely WP:OR. The article should be deleted and the content in the first paragraph merged into Bollywood films and plagiarism. Toddstreat1 20:27, 20 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge into Bollywood films and plagiarism. Same topic, just a few different examples which can easily inserted into the existing article if they can be verified. Tx17777 20:50, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge. Having looked at both lists, I'm not so sure that the "Bollywood plagiarism" article, with its inflammatory title, shouldn't be merged into this one, although the other article has the more easily maintained format.  However, I think both can exist.  In both cases, they're covering a worthy topic, and Bollywood articles should be encouraged to offset the "American college boy" bias of Wikipedia.  Problems with citations and O/R can be remedied.  The article was just created on Wednesday.  Mandsford 21:01, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * It is true there is a possible question of a POV issue with the title of Bollywood films and plagiarism. Perhaps Bollywood films accused of plagiarism would be a better compromise. However, what is certain in my mind is that they shouldn't co-exist alongside each other as they do cover exactly the same ground. Tx17777 21:10, 20 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge as per TX17777. The Transhumanist 23:43, 20 October 2007 (UTC)*
 * Keep and merge I think this title would be the preferred one. I couldn't find Hollywood films and plagiarism or List of Hollywood films inspired by Bollywood films, so merge Bollywood films and plagiarism to this title (and move to List of Bollywood flims inspired by English-language films).  &mdash;   Music  Maker  5376  03:16, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and reference; This is currently original research and reliable sources must be provided for each film stating that it was copied from English language film. The list shoul be renamed List of Bollywood films based on English-language films. "Inspired from" is too weak a description for many of these films (plus, grammar), especially if some use the same dialogue translated. List of X films based on is also the standard naming for any of this type of list; List of English-language films based on foreign-language films, etc. Masaruemoto 04:12, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and reference; Plagiarism and Inspiration are not the same, thus they do not cover the same topic.  There are thousands of English movies inspired by Shakespeare, for example, but are not plagiarized (copyright duration aside). If the articles are merged, then Wikipedia could be seen to be implying that the listed movies are plagiarized, even if they are not, which could be libelous.  Any overlap between the two lists should be merged into the plagiarism article, but movies that are inspired but not plagiarized should be kept separate. Pediddle 18:30, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Rename to List of Bollywood films based on English-language films, then merge to Bollywood films and plagiarism, and delete the title "List of Bollywood Movies inspired from English Movies". Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 15:27, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
