Discussion

 * This seems like a bad idea. IMDB is user-edited, and there could be all kinds of people listed in its database who don't meet our notability criteria. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:23, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I've blocked the account for now, it was creating pretty useless articles. Legoktm (talk) 00:17, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, this cannot work as a bot. —  Earwig   talk 03:07, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
