Shootout (film series)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article is plagiarized from, and contains no notable information not already present in, the existing articles for the individual films. The copyright violation is not difficult (but rather bothersome) to fix, though doing so would not change the fact that the article is redundant. Psychonaut (talk) 20:13, 26 July 2013 (UTC)


 * There actually is notable information in the Shootout (film series) article that is not included in the existing articles for the individual films. For example the controversies the song "Laila" brought is only included in the Shootout (film series) article and information about the next film in the film series is only included in the Shootout (film series) article. Also, the original articles do not contain a table that compares the revenues of both films that have already released, where as the article Shootout (film series) does. The same can be said about articles Harry Potter (film series) and Dhoom (film series). However, these two articles are there so people can read about the franchise as a whole and compare the different plots, characters, etc. So, Shootout (film series) should remain an article just like Harry Potter (film series) and Dhoom (film series) are articles.BBINDFAN (talk) 20:36, 26 July 2013 (UTC)


 * The "Laila" controversy is rather trivial, and in any case should go in the article about the film it appeared in. The information on the upcoming film is speculative and unsourced.  Again, there's nothing notable here which is not already in the articles about the films. —Psychonaut (talk) 20:46, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

 * A reference has been added to the upcoming film in this franchise. Also, the "Laila" controversy is one of the many things that gave the franchise the 18+(for adults only) rating. Trade analysts have said that the box office collections will be affected for future films of this franchise since many families will not watch this movie because of it's 18+ rating, all because of this "Laila" controversy. Therefore, the "Laila" controversy should be on the Shootout (film series) article and is notable (It affected the ratings, box office collections,etc.). Furthermore, you still haven't addressed something. You haven't addressed that the same can be said about articles Harry Potter (film series) and Dhoom (film series) (which still exist). However, these two articles are there so people can read about the franchise as a whole and compare the different plots, characters, box office collections, etc. So, Shootout (film series) should remain an article just like Harry Potter (film series) and Dhoom (film series) are articles. The Shootout (film series) article helps many people, which is what Wikipedia is for! I'm not asking to keep the Shootout (film series) article for personal reasons but instead for the benefits of the Wikipedia users. BBINDFAN (talk) 03:59, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Obviously, we have come to the consensus that this page shouldn't be deleted! Thanks!BBINDFAN (talk) 19:04, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
 * If the existence of a consensus was so obvious, there would have been no need to relist the discussion. I have just invited further comments from WikiProject Film as this article is tagged as being within its scope. —Psychonaut (talk) 21:06, 9 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete since we should have at least three tangible films to have a film series article. There was a similar case with the Journey films, and my argument for deletion at Articles for deletion/Journey (film series) would apply here. If there is a third film confirmed (meaning that filming is underway, warranting a stand-alone article), then we can have a film series article that aggregates information such as recurring cast and crew, as well as critical reception and box office performance.
