[edit] 50 Cent filmography

50 Cent filmography (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Obsolete page that adds nothing to what 50 Cent#Filmography already has. Maybe if the list gets very extensive, like say Robert De Niro filmography, this would warrant an article, but this is a very redundant page. Oh and 50 Cent films (a redirect) should be deleted to.

  • Delete Unnecessary content fork. Blueboy96 18:59, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep-This article should be kept because 50 Cent does not currently have a filmography page, but he has been in many films. It is wrong to list his films in his discography page, as they have been. As he acts in more films (which he is) the article will grow. Also, this page cannot be compared to Robert De Niro filmography because 50 Cent is not a full time actor. --The-G-Unit-Boss 19:41, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
He's only been in like half a dozen films. Imagine how unnecessary it would be if we had a filmography page for every musician that's been in a small handful of films. Spellcast 00:26, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep for much the same reason that I gave in the discography article AfD: it gives significant information beyond that which is available, beyond that which should be available, in the main article. Angus Lepper(T, C, D) 19:14, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Significant information? You mean a release date? The 'DVDs' and 'Games' section is just repeating what's in the 50 Cent discography page. So the only "new" thing this article has is a list of starring actors (which should be kept in the actual movie page) and specific release dates (is adding "November 9" to 2005 really significant?).

    • Delete — huh, I must be going nuts. I could have sworn there was much more information than that in there. Angus Lepper(T, C, D) 10:55, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Contains only unnecessary details about films already listed in main article. Just my 2 cents. Clarityfiend 19:51, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Comment-Yes, But in the article, it does not mention all of the details that it does in the filmography page. Thanks --The-G-Unit-Boss 20:06, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
User above said "Keep" twice, changed this to "Comment". --- Realest4Life 19:55, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
There are no new details on this page. It's repeating what's already said in the main page and the discography. Spellcast 22:57, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete an attempt to get yet another additional page for the same material. If presented more compactly, it would fit perfectly well in the main article.DGG (talk) 20:40, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete 50 Cent is not primarily an actor, and there's no way to predict whether in the future he will warrant his own separate filmography a la De Niro. Until that time comes, his film career is better off being summarized in his main biography. Eliz81 20:51, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - It shows the details of the movies and as 50 Cent stars in more movies the page could be expanded and show more info.it also gives significant info which isnt shown in the main article. - Real Compton G 20:53, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
What "significant" info are you referring to? Spellcast 20:56, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, compilation of information easily obtained by clicking through the wikilinks to the film page. It's one thing to have a list, it's another thing to add irrelevant informatino (like release date and co-stars) just to make it look more important than it is. --Dhartung | Talk 01:55, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge- as far as it is not a big page it's best to merge the whole thing with his discography and the discussion is down. 97 Football 20:08, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment- It shouldn't be merged to his as discographies don't include film information per definiton of the word, see wikt:discography.--Shadyaftrmathgunit 21:41, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Per nom. --- Realest4Life 19:53, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete or merge with 50 cent article's Filmography sub-section which only contains the link to the afd articleJForget 14:50, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge This filmography is nowhere near the filmographies of that of John Wayne, Arnold Schwarzenegger, or Robert De Niro. At this point in the actor's career, a branched off filmogrpahy is not warranted and should be merged back into the main article. --Nehrams2020 17:22, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Merging the whole thing the way it is now would make the 50 Cent filmography section bulky. This filmography table is adequate enough and is standard in many bios. We'll be better off just deleting the page. Spellcast 10:38, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment-There is too much information in the 50 Cent Filmography page for it to be merged into the 50 Cent page. Some would say that the extra information is not needed and can be seen on the films page but his would also go for his discography page whos Afd was closed and the article was kept. --The-G-Unit-Boss 13:17, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
