Like my new template....
 

I made this specifically for pages that should be deleted on the basis that they do not meet the criteria/ Rules, Standards and Principles of IMFDB. Not necessarily because of incompleteness/effort.

http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Template:Nuke

I like the nuke pic

Change it to an animated .gif of the nuke scene from Terminator 2.

I would but GIFs take up more bandwidth......

Just remember to NOT GET DELETE HAPPY. Mods do sweeps but we're pretty sure that the page deserves it. Sometimes members get all nit picky and start tagging EVERYTHING with a delete notice.

Well, Orca1 9904 did a delete sweep on all the ones tagged with nuke. I think there should have been a vote. Like Mythbusters has been up for a while, even though it wasn't complete. It had some effort put into it. Maybe not as much as Mail Call. Why is one allowed to stay and another is not? That "grandfathered in" is bullshit. It looks unfair as a whole if certain ones are still up even though they don't meet the rules. Many of the ones Orca1 deleted, were built before the rules same as Mail Call.

If documentaries aren't allowed delete them all.

There was a discussion about this earlier.

http://forum.imfdb.org/showthread.php?t=1071&page=2

I didn't see much voting between the mods to me.

There wasn't no, Mythbusters - stay or nay
Future Weapons - stay or nay. etc

That is voting I'm talking about.

Future Weapons - I would nay (but I wished the page wasn't deleted yet)

Deadliest Warrior - Stay or nay? (I would say stay)

Mythbusters - Stay

Mail Call - Stay

Lock n Load - Stay

Okay, so can all the ones deleted be restored? So all of the mods can cast their votes.

I put back up the ones that are on the bubble:

Ultimate Weapons
DEA
Weaponology
Top Gear
Top Shot
Top Sniper 2
Dallas SWAT
Situation Critical
Mythbusters
Deadliest Warriors (Seasons 1 & 2)

Any other ones?

Regardless of what the rules are, that doesn't sound like a good idea to have one admin robotically responding to tags without any input like that.

Ultimate Weapons - I guess stay, but I don't really care for ones that tell you what the weapon is.

DEA - nay

Weaponology - nay

Top Gear - I guess stay

Top Shot - stay, even though they tell you the weapon used. It's a well built page.

Top Sniper 2 - a lot of screencaps, but no descriptions, nay

Dallas SWAT - nay

Situation Critical - stay, it's a documentary, but isn't it more or less reenactments?

Mythbusters -stay

Deadliest Warriors (Seasons 1 & 2) -stay



The way I see it, if it's already been built and has some effort it should stay. But no more new documentary pages.

Which is WHY that delete tag is NOT a good idea.

If some page is suggested for deletion, it should be in the Discussion page. That way people can put input forth and Mods can review and make a cool headed decision.

I hate those reality TV / Documentaries myself (and I was always against them) because (a) usually they do a show on the gun itself, so identifying it is pointless and (b) documenting what REAL COPS use (in shows like Dallas SWAT / DEA / etc.) falls outside of the scope of IMFDB because no movie armorer provided the weapon. We would just be reiterating what is 'regulation' for that department to really carry (c) Documentaries open the door to all sorts of irrelevant entries. We once had a CBS News show on Operation Enduring Freedom (invasion of Afghanistan 2002). My thought was 'who cares?' All they did was use existing news footage of the warring parties. We would soon be putting up pages for ABC World News Tonight! if that continued. That page was quickly deleted.

Television was supposed to be TELEVISION SHOWS. Not reality TV or news or documentaries. Those shows depict real life and open the doors to too many barely relevant entries.

That being said, we should VOTE on which ones stay. But seriously there was supposed to be a MORATORIUM on new reality TV/documentaries shows. What happened to that?

How much input does Chris Bunni actually give as far as these kinds of decisions go?

He doesn't. He just floats around and lets the members of the Imperium decide on the fate of condemned pages. He gave the membership the power and thus trusts us to use it wisely.......:D

Can we really call Deadliest Warrior a documentary? Especially since it seems more about what looks Kewl rather than facts.

Actually, I think I should leave it to someone better than me to explain it:
Clicky!

RE - the new category. Me gusta mucho. Definitely something to use more in the future. And I like how it links to the rules, too.

Except that this bunny isn't sitting on top of the button that makes the changes into law. And neither are we.

Are you kidding? This mega douche can explain something better than you? I hope not. That would mean you had no brain and I don't want to believe that's the case. This mega douche idiot (on his crap camera work with bad color balance (set your WHITES before you roll you moron!) and bad composition (the footage has the headspace of a rank amateur photographer) takes forever to get to the point. I had to shut it off half way through because he was so irritating! :mad:

He made no fans here, even though his point may be good, he's such a douche that I couldn't get to whatever point he was trying to make....

I would like to know what the mods think of this page:

http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/War_Briefing%2C_The

It falls under the documentary category since it is an episode of PBS Frontline, but seems to have slipped under the radar since no one has mentioned it so far.

Also look at these pages:

http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Manhu...ive_Task_Force
http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Real_Vice_Cops_Uncut

These three pages, along with DEA and Dallas SWAT, were all created by Choi117.
