Alfred Hitchcock filmography

 * Nominator(s): Cowlibob (talk) 18:13, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

Alfred Hitchcock is considered one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. Here is a comprehensive rundown of all of his work in film and television. As always look forward to all the constructive comments on how to improve it. Cowlibob (talk) 18:13, 24 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Comments from Aoba47
 * I have made some minors edits (addition of some commas) with these edits. Feel free to revert them if you disagree with them.
 * Reference 12 is dead and either needs to be archived or replaced with a different source.
 * The image in the "Television" subsection needs an ALT description. I am also not certain if that image is entirely necessary. The placement of the image has some interference with the gallery (it is cutting through the section) and it doesn't add much to the list as the image at the topic gives the reader an understanding of what Hitchcock looks like and this second image is a little repetitive.
 * Is the "Gallery" section really necessary? I haven't seen a section like that for other filmographies and I would suggest removing it according to WP:IG as I find it a little shoehorned into the list.

Great work with the list. Once my comments are addressed, I will support this nomination. Please ping me when you are finished with my comments. Aoba47 (talk) 04:06, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Support: Since the nominator has appeared to have addressed all of my comments, I will support this nomination. Great work with this! Good luck with this list. Aoba47 (talk) 18:57, 27 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Comments from Ssven2
 * "In 1935 Hitchcock directed spy thriller The 39 Steps" — Shouldn't it be "In 1935 Hitchcock directed the spy thriller The 39 Steps"?
 * You can mention a little bit about how he went around the production code in Notorious (Grant's kissing scene with Bergman).
 * "The show made him a household name" — Wasn't he famous before that?
 * That's about it from me. Good work on the filmography of my most favourite director. —  Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 07:43, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for having a look. I think I've fixed the above. He's one of my favourites as well, you could probably make a pretty strong top five Hollywood films of all time just from ones he's directed.Cowlibob (talk) 23:40, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I support this nomination. Good luck with your FLC. As for top five Hitchcock films, here it is: Psycho, Vertigo, Rear Window, Notorious and Strangers on a Train. You can even include Rebecca, Dial M for Murder, The Lady Vanishes, North by Northwest and Suspicion too. —  Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 07:25, 15 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Comments from Kailash
 * Is Hitchcock's birth and death date really necessary here? I don't know, just asking.
 * Dubbed the "Master of Suspense" - by whom? Or you could write something like Popularly known as the "Master of Suspense".
 * I believe genres don't have to be linked unless they are uncommon terms.
 * He collaborated with Grace Kelly on three films - we typically don't begin paragraphs with pronouns.
 * In 1960 he directed Psycho the biggest commercial success of his career - there has to be a comma after Psycho.
 * In the table I don't think we have to mention if a film was a remake of another. This applies to The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956).
 * "Murder!" redirects to "Murder! (1930 film)". Was it deliberately linked like that in case the article were to be moved to not include (1930 film) in its title?
 * In the ref column, the refs must be arranged vertically, not horizontally. They make the table look cleaner that way.
 * After running Checklinks, I saw that all links were working, while two are classified as "Uncategorized redirects". You may archive references to avoid WP:LINKROT. Kailash29792 (talk)  08:50, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. I have sorted the above comments I think. I mention birth and death dates for articles on deceased people as I think it's standard practice for such article. It probably helps to tell the time period they worked in. eg. Laurence Olivier on stage and screen, John Gielgud, roles and awards, and Gene Kelly filmography.

 * I guess I need not say anymore; this has my Support, and I hope it passes FLC. Kailash29792 (talk)  11:24, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

Support - Looks good. Jimknut (talk) 15:52, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
