What is a reasonable time limit for tagging a page incomplete or no effort?

As far as what kind of time lapse before tagging a page incomplete I guess 2 weeks for movie pages. TV shows are another matter, they can take a long damn time.

Well, it was just that one time, but I've seen it happen to other members by a variety of people, and frankly, I can't really get annoyed with people for rules which have not been actually written. If there is a rule which explicitly outlines a span of time, the person can fire back saying 'Hey, you didn't give me enough time before you started calling for everyone else to complete my page for me'. It would be only fair to actually write a clear rule so that the membership has a chance to read it.

Sometimes I've left a page and kinda forgot about it for months (doh!) and those pages were slapped with a tag. That didn't bother me because I had already let the page lapse with no new content in a while. No one should have a problem with that.

I like either 1 or 2 weeks for a movie page (to give working folks at least 2 weekends to do it), not sure about the time to do the MINIMUM standard for a TV series page (since it is ongoing and many times the DVDs aren't released in a timely manner and many shows don't even have DVD releases). I don't know about Videogames. but after a while, the tags are merited.

Nevertheless regardless of any amount of time I would think it is appropriate to apply the {{nuke}} tag to articles not compatible with IMFDB.

What about pages that have been up long before the rule about documentaries and such?

Perhaps a {grandfathered} tag is in order? To indicate that though a page is technically against the rules, it has been given special recognition.

This is a really great idea. People keep asking us stuff like why we claim documentaries are not allowed even though we've left up some pages that predated the rule (and which took enough effort to make that deleting would seem unfair). I'm all for this.
