2004 film

The 2004 documentary should not be listed here. Disambiguation pages disambiguate Wikipedia articles, and this film has no article and is not, as far as I can tell, supported by being mentioned in another article. It does not appear in, for example, the George Ryan article. If you believe the film should be included here, the solution is simple: Create the article, or add a useful mention of it (preferably referenced) in an appropriate existing article.--ShelfSkewed Talk 04:54, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

4 other items on this list don't have wiki pages, yet you only remove this one? why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.22.103.111 (talk) 14:14, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Because those other films are mentioned and linked in each entry's accompanying blue-linked article (and, in some cases, in other articles as well). For an item to be included on a disambiguation page it must be supported in some way, even very briefly, in an actual Wikipedia article. I removed the entry for the 2004 film because I couldn't find an article that supported it--and I did look: I do try to keep legitimate items on dab pages if they meet the existing guidelines. That's why I said that if you could just add a mention of it to an appropriate article--or find an article in which it is already mentioned--then it could be included here.--ShelfSkewed Talk 14:34, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Are you suggesting a change to the disambiguation page? That is what this talk page is for. -- Fyrael (talk) 02:49, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
