Stanton-Walsh rule
was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was

An entry in Roger Ebert's Big Little Movie Glossary, a great book which contains brief descriptions of all of your favorite movie clichés and observations. However, few entries, if any, are worthy of articles (maybe the "Fallacy of the Talking Killer" and the "Idiot Plot," for their entry into widespread lexicon). Delete.

 * Delete. Not notable. - Vague Rant 09:47, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, although description of some of the funnier rules might fit at the end of Roger Ebert. -- GWO 11:36, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is a pretty obscure one (although perhaps it could be mentioned briefly in the articles for Stanton and Walsh?). I would, however, love to see something about the fruit cart rule. (Some of these are mentioned in List of clichés, where they are unattributed. Perhaps someone who owns the book would like to clean that up?) [[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 17:33, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: It's a good rule (except for Stephen King's The Langoliers, which is one of the worst filmed products ever created), but not widespread enough for an article. I also like Ebert's rule about bartenders in movies, who must always be cleaning a glass with a dirty rag.  Geogre 19:00, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete or add as "trivia" to the Stanton, Walsh, or Ebert pages. Inky 01:41, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
