List of number 23 film references[edit]

In my opinion, this is indescriminate and fails WP:NOT. Salad Days 12:36, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - This seems to have been split off from 23 (numerology) together with other similar lists. Tikiwont 13:33, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for now. This was probably created as a tie-in to the upcoming film The Number 23, or if not it will probably be of interest once that film is released in a couple of weeks. It can use some expansion and a firmer connection to 23 (numerology), but seeing as the films themselves are the sources (not all sources need to be books), I don't see this necessarily being POV. It might need some trimming if any of the items violate WP:NOR. An alternative might be to merge it with the numerology number. 23skidoo 14:07, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. Mathmo ^Talk 14:24, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, WP:OR, synthesis of published material. Recury 14:35, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this is pure originial research synthesis, and movie trivia. If this is a tie-in to the upcoming film, then that creates potential spam concerns.-- danntm ^T _C 14:37, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a mix of unsourced information, trivia, and original research -- Whpq 17:32, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Trivia and orginal research.-MsHyde 21:19, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, it doesn't matter if it might be of interest later. It's original research. At one point, there is the statement that in a movie, characters "'randomly' select floor 23 in an elevator." Why is "randomly" in quotes? There is obviously an agenda being pursured here.-Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 22:54, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Even if you assumed that the article was properly referenced (which it doesn't seem to be) there's the issue that it makes no claims that the appearance of the number 23 in these movies is anything other than sheer random coincidence. Lacking any verifiable connection between these items other than a random number, it's simply a list of random unrelated snapshots. Why restrict this to films, for instance? The number 23 occurs in thousands of places in notable media. Delete, and if a user wants to maintain it move it to their userspace if they want to preserve it.

Comment - As already mentioned, the list on movies is split off a more general artcile 23 (numerology) which has has many more sections and besides that article there are other spin-off lists to be considered here:

List of number 23 Television references
List of number 23 literary references
List of number 23 music references —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tikiwont (talk • contribs) 08:56, 8 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Delete list of references to an arbitrary number in an arbitrary entertainment medium. There is no encyclopaedic topic "references to the number 23 in film". Guy (Help!) 09:43, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Wait, is this the 23rd AFD listing? NVM. — MrDolomite | Talk 16:11, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
