Orphaned non-free media (File:THE STORY OF DAO Film Poster.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:THE STORY OF DAO Film Poster.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:20, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

advice

(copied from my talk p) Yes, I should have done differently--looking again at the article, I consider it all essentially an advertisement, and a poorly made one at that. It would need so much rewriting that it qualifies for WP:CSD G11. the only reason I did not delete it before is that the subject is after all notable--or would be, if third party sources support the awards listed. I have deleted it accordingly. When you rewrite it , write in a plain descriptive manner. Give third party published citations for every award listed; do not rely on Imdb. Do not rely on the firms's web page. List the films either in paragraphs or a list, not a table. Avoid puffery and adjectives of praise. Avoid extensive discussion of motive. And see WP:CRYSTAL for why we do not include information about films that are not yet in principal photography. The example you gave has extensive third party references.

The worthiness of a cause is irrelevant. WP does not promote causes, films, or individuals. DGG ( talk ) 05:17, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Interesting! Thank you for the input.

Not surprisingly, I do not agree with your decision to remove the page. It was frankly of a higher caliber than many production company pages listed on Wikipedia, not to mention that the company is notable for its associations and awards. I do, however, understand if you wanted additional sources listed for these awards and associations. I was previously not aware that IMDb was not considered a reliable source for information on films.

My main dilemma is that I don't understand your comment on the table. It seems that a lot of very good articles use them to display production credits: Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox, and DreamWorks Animation, for example. I therefore disagree that a table is a poor tool to use in this scenario. Was it the awards being listed this way that you objected to?

Also, what do you mean "The worthiness of a cause is irrelevant?" As I never mentioned that any information was included due to relevancy, I am a little confused by this statement. Are you referring to my comment that the information was relevant, or is this a different issue?

Thank you for taking the time to answer my previous questions.

I may have been a little too sharp in what I've just said above--it's the end of the day for me. I will take another look tomorrow. The article does need some extensive fixing, but quite possibly I can rewrite the article adequately-- It's more a matter of tone than anything else. I have the impression from the article that the importance of the cause affected the tone. so, for the moment, I have restored the article. I'll do some work on it tomorrow. What I would then need from you is the third party references for the awards. And I will get the new film in there somehow. My apologies. . DGG ( talk ) 05:48, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you, I genuinely appreciate all of that. I'll work on tracking down individual references for the various awards.
