Based on...[edit]
This template is based on the existing "BLP IMDb refimprove", which reads
This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification, as it includes attribution to IMDb. IMDb may not be a reliable source for biographical information. Please help by adding additional, reliable sources for verification. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous or harmful. (Learn how and when to remove this message)
WP:FILM's established consensus is that IMDb is essentially a wikia of user-submitted material and only to be used as an external link. --Tenebrae (talk) 18:31, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
Previous discussion[edit]
To editor Finnusertop: Currently neither (((BLP IMDb refimprove))) nor ((Film IMDb refimprove)) offers a comfortable wording for biographies of deceased persons.
This media article uses IMDb for verification. IMDb may not be a reliable source for film and television information and is generally only cited as an external link. Please help by replacing IMDb with third-party reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (Learn how and when to remove this message)
Not sure how to better word this one. Do you have any suggestions? Painius 19:46, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
