[edit] The Assassination of Richard Nixon

Bordering on patent nonsense. RidG (talk) 00:40, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)

• Well, it is the name of a movie, with Sean Penn I believe, so I'm sure it can be easily fixed. Adam Bishop 00:48, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Current content: "Richard Nixon was not assasinated. He died of a stroke on April 22, 1994". Since this is the title of a movie, the current content is irrelevant and could be speedy deleted. Or someone could fix it. Kappa 01:04, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep rewrite Kappa 09:40, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Comment I "fixed" it--well, made it into a stub about the movie, at least. Demi 02:03, 2005 Mar 9 (UTC)
• Delete, not a notable film. Megan1967 03:34, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as edited. If a film has been released, it's notable. And even if it's soon to be released, it's often still notable. I've seen press about this movie already. 23skidoo 15:25, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep with edits by Demi. How is a movie with Sean Penn and Naomi Watts not notable? DaveTheRed 04:07, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Stong Keep. How Megan can vote delete for this yet keep on Honey Glaze is beyond me. Xezbeth 06:21, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Because I substantially expanded the Honey Glaze article. Would I vote against an article I put work into? Don't think so.. Megan1967 07:56, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Presumably people expand articles because they think they are worth keeping, not vice versa. -R. fiend 06:07, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Dude, Honey Glaze is by Michael Legge! The Michael Legge...need I say more? Anyway, keep this, as a film that by all indications passes wikipedia's very lax inclusion criteria for films. -R. fiend 06:52, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • As I've noted elsewhere, Megan likes to vote keep on articles that should be deleted and delete on articles that should be kept. Keep the rewrite. RickK 06:53, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep it civil please. Radiant! 09:18, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
      • Civility still allows us to discuss other people's voting patterns. Kappa 09:40, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
        • I agree with Kappa. And besides, asserting that a voter makes some apparently contradictory calls is not inherently uncivil. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:59, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and clean up (Wikipedia:Check your fiction) - this film is about a real 1974 assassination attempt. --iMb~Mw 06:29, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, as currently rewritten, as an article about an adequately notable film. -- Curps 07:08, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • I agree, the current rewrite rules. Keep. Thanks, Demi. — JIP | Talk 10:27, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Xezbeth did most of the work. Demi 16:23, 2005 Mar 9 (UTC)
• Keep, thanks to the rewrite. Remes 14:47, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as rewritten. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:56, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Good save. Edeans 17:58, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
