[edit] Plot of The Thing
WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information, and this clearly violates the "Plot summaries" subsection. Aside from that, there appears to be no reason why this film's plot should be forked from the main article instead of just summarized like every other film article. It's an unreferenced mess to boot. Nufy8 (talk) 19:57, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- Merge and rewrite this should be with the article about the film. ImperviusXR (talk) 20:47, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- Delete There's already The Thing (film) # Plot. This is the type of overly detailed, easy to write, play-by-play that isn't necessary for appreciation of the John Carpenter film. Mandsford (talk) 21:51, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- Delete Too long, doesn't summarise the plot, contains material that isn't actually in the film (and so shouldn't be in its summary) mixed in with an OR-ish/POV writing style. Geoff B (talk) 22:46, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- Delete no need for this fork; if anything is valuable here, can merge. JJL (talk) 23:03, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. Does it WP:SNOW in Antarctica? Yes, yes it does. --Dhartung | Talk 09:40, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
