List of actors nominated for two Academy Awards in the same year
And here's another one. sephiroth bcr ( converse ) 00:11, 30 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment - do we really need two separate external links to the same domain and one to IMDb when we have an official site which is already linked? Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 14:48, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose I don't think this style of list is in the correct format to best display the information.
 * I believe that each actor should have one entry for their name which could span two rows (using rowspan="2") Some way is needed to link the two nominations and visually separate them from the next actor's entry.
 * FYI: Rowspan=not sortable. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:15, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Exact reason I didn't do that. sephiroth bcr  ( converse ) 18:36, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I also think that the actors name should be the first entry
 * Which makes the sorting weird. List goes in chronological order, so years are fine. sephiroth bcr  ( converse ) 18:36, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The format 1938 (11th) is confusing. The 11th what? Perhaps put in a separate column but at least an explanation is required. Rmhermen (talk) 15:53, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It's the format used in every other Academy Awards list based on time. I don't mind adding an explanation though. sephiroth bcr  ( converse ) 18:36, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I would do that. I seem to recall pointing out the slight confusion before - a note would be just fine (and if you have the energy, retrospectively adding the note to your other FLs?).  The Rambling Man (talk) 18:43, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Did so. Part of making lists with new formats is that you have to constantly adjust them :p sephiroth bcr  ( converse ) 18:47, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * And that's what happens when you do such a good job&mdash;we all end up finding absolute trivia to moan about. ;) The Rambling Man (talk) 18:48, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I do not find my objections trivial. And I still cannot support this list. Rmhermen (talk) 21:12, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I've expressed why I disagree with your comments. You are free to discuss them. Not doing so isn't really helping anything. sephiroth bcr  ( converse ) 23:27, 30 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose I feel that this subject is neither notable nor useful to be on Wikipedia. These are purely trivial statistics. I can see this list at Oscarpedia or any other oscar-related website, but not here. Same thing I feel about the list you're currently working on List of films with two or more actors nominated for the same Academy Award. This information may be useful only when you want to play some Oscar trivia.-- Crzycheetah 09:32, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * *sigh* Well, I wondered how far I could take this. Fair enough. I withdraw the nomination. sephiroth bcr  ( converse ) 10:04, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn per this. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:26, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
