This is a newly created cleanup template articulates a "policy" that is not in fact a Wikipedia policy. WP policy calls for "Verifiability" not "Accuracy." — Orlady (talk) 20:08, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've longed for a tag like this for a long time. While we strive for verifiability, we NEED to be accurate. This is especially important in {{Unreferenced}} and {{Refimprove}} articles. The difference between the two is that UNREFERENCED makes no claim to factual inaccuracy ("this information is right, we just need to add references") while INACCURATE notates the actual fallacy of the information ("this information is not correct and we need to fix it while referencing those corrections").

Additionally, there is currently no way for a casual reader to know that an article may present inaccurate information as they may not understand that an unreferenced tag means that information may be suspect. Worse yet is the casual reader finding a wholly inaccurate article that isn't tagged with the Unreferenced tag.

STRONG KEEP - As a side note, if we were to stick purely to verifiability, there'd be no need for the {{NPOV}} tag, as any POV that is referencable would be includable... but we have this tag because we seek not only verifiability, but accuracy of information and neutrality of information. • VigilancePrime • • • 07:35 (UTC) 22 Feb '08

The template for Batman movies of 80's and 90's; however already a template for Batman media which encompasses these films. The new template redundant. -66.109.248.114 (talk) 23:15, 20 February 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Keep To me it seems to be more in depth but I am going to remove it from Elliot Goldenthal and stick it in the page for the Batman Forever score he did because his main page should just have one template for him only. Terrasidius (talk) 00:00, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This particular template is much, much deeper than simply being a list for the films. It includes the names of the crew memebers as well as members of the cast and characters first appearing in the films (as opposed to the mainstream comic book continuity). TMC1982 2:00 a.m., 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Keep seems to be deep and gives a general overview of cast, crew and others of the films. Rhino131 (talk) 16:11, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the batman template for batman media is not relevent to the films or as in-depth. 82.2.126.96 (talk) 03:20, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Deep, yes, but it reads as a cast list. It is in most cases either a duplication of the older template, which it does not replace, or end of article clutter. - J Greb (talk) 22:05, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- How is a template that also includes the directors, producers, editors, screenwriters, cinematographers, composers, production designers, etc. still merely reads as a "cast list" (you're not looking at the bigger picture). Not *every single* actor, who has a Wikipedia article has been listed by the way. This is more or less, about the prodcuction process and marketing aspects of the films than just the actors and the characters that they respectively portrayed. If it was purely a duplication of the older template, then only the films would've made up the most important section. This is simply focusing on four films, as opposed to very other past or future film, television (live-action or animated), radio or video game adaption of Batman. TMC1982 2:00 a.m., 25 February 2008 (UTC)
  - comment -A concern is that if the such a massive navbox that delves into the nuances of a disjointed film series decreases on the accessibilty and thus "helpfulness." A scaled back version for both practical style and to match that of the other film navbox's would be a redupe of the Batman in Popular Media box. -66.109.248.114 (talk) 23:30, 25 February 2008 (UTC).[reply]
    - Tim Burton's films and Joel Schumacher's films are "technically" in the same continuity (albeit loose at best a la the James Bond films) as one another. Michael Gough and Pat Hingle (Alfred Pennyworth and Commissioner Gordon respectively) are the only actors to appear in both Burton and Schumacher's films. TMC1982 5:39 p.m., 25 February 2008 (UTC)
