[edit] Home Alone

This article consists mainly of the original Home Alone movie. Some content needs to be merged to Home Alone (original movie) since there are a few other Home Alone movies and some notable video game spinoffs.

• Merge some content to Home Alone (original movie) and disambiguate for a list of other Home Alone articles. We could have an article about being home alone in real life. --TheSamurai 17:07, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, bogus nomination, since the nominator doesn't want it deleted. Added to VFD now as the process was not followed in adding it. --SPUI (talk) 00:38, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Ironically, right after I casted a VfD on this article; I generated a new nomination system for Wikipedia; this nomination system is Votes for disambiguation. And we could cast votes for disambiguation instead. Click here to see the template for votes of disambiguation. --TheSamurai 01:18, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Note: Votes for disambiguation and Template:VfDis have been posted on VFD and TFD, respectively. Zzyzx11 02:50, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. This article should be improved to detail the franchise, and contain sections linking out to main articles on all 4 movies, as well as video games. c.f. Star Wars.--ZayZayEM 02:36, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. I don't feel it needs to be made into a disambiguation page. This article should cover the first movie and discuss the franchise, with links to separate articles on the sequels. 23skidoo 05:04, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep all major Hollywood films, and I can't imagine why it really needs dismbiguation as per above. Paradiso 05:05, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep a notable film series. —Seselwa 05:36, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Why do we need to make Home Alone a disambig page? Rhobite 05:55, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Ridiculous nomination. Don't advocate things you don't want to happen - David Gerard 09:20, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Now, I came up with a different plan; I made Home Alone an article with links to media in the Home Alone series rather than the original movie; the original movie is now in an article called Home Alone (original movie). --TheSamurai 14:25, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • I've reverted it to the version of Feb 28. Someone needs to delete the copy-and-paste move at Home Alone (original movie) --Carnildo 19:18, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep --Fuzzball! 22:11, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as it is, no disambig, no redirect, no whatever. If you wanted to disambig it, some sort of an attempt at consensus on the relevant articles' talk pages would have been preferable to making a unilateral change or inventing new policy. android↔talk 22:21, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, in concurrence w/ above. Slac speak up! 23:18, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. There's no need to move or disambiguate this. Just mention and link the sequels and the video games. --FuriousFreddy 01:47, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Malicious delete request. --Kitch 12:38, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• STRONG keep and expand. I certainly can't speak for the rest of you, but ol' Lucky is getting pretty irritated with a certain user whose creations are becoming a staple of this page. - Lucky 6.9 21:34, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• keep as is Yuckfoo 01:35, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, do not split. Do all movies with sequels need to be disambiguated? -Sean Curtin 23:06, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • His proposal was to disambiguate the movie from the Nintendo game from the Super Nintendo game from the Sega game from the Gameboy game from the second Nintendo game from the second Super Nintendo game from the second Sega game from the second Gameboy game, not to mention the second, third, and fourth movies. --Carnildo 23:23, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. What's the problem? --Asriel86 01:01, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. Are we joking here? Although the kid is bloody irratating, this film is far above the line of notability. Hedley 03:15, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Film spawned the term of the same name used in nightly news all the time. --Wgfinley 20:47, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep and Expand. Why would anyone want to delete an article about a hit family comedy? Come on!CJS102793 00:49, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
