I'm sure that eventually more films that are adaptations of work from a single author will be put on this wiki, so an Author category will see more use eventually. |

I have one rule: Don't expand IMFDB to anything past what we already cover, until we've 100% covered our original mission. Since there are TONS of gaps in our 'histories' I suggest we expend our energies towards making IMFDB complete, rather than ADDING more stuff we have to cover.

Huh, and I thought I was building a reputation for being one of the straight shooters on this wiki.

In any case, there already exist categories for authors whose works have been adapted into several films that qualify for inclusion on this wiki. If you're going to remove those categories, then fine. But if we're going keep them, then it would be good to have some criteria for including future author categories (i.e., they must have 3 or more works that have been adapted into films/video games/TV shows that qualify for inclusion on this wiki before such an author category can be created), since there are some of us who would like to quickly find the films based on the author's works (and I'm certain there are more authors who would qualify for such categories than just the three we've brought up here). And it would require much in the way of new material, just one category page per author worthy of inclusion, and the "Author" metacategory (like the ones we have for Director and Actor). |

If Elmore Leonard gets one, then I suppose you've proven your point. I have no objections.
As for future entries, I think we should lay down some requirements, like the minimum number of titles to qualify.

Maybe 10?
Do we want to set a limit for directors as well? We have one director category with only two films.

Damn, the late PKD only has 7 films to my knowledge based on his works that would qualify for this wiki.

At least 10 items for author pages is my recommendation.
As for pages with actors who also are directors, I have done a few pages like this such as for Kevin Costner http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Kevin_Costner. Is it better to have everything on one page (it looks a little messy) or place the directed films on the discussion page? PLease give thoughts. |
