Filmography section

[edit]

Is there any indication there was more then one film/documentary they made? If not, a section with a single item list is probably inappropriate as prose would be better. It looks like the film entry is citing itself for verification of it's existence. On list articles I've worked on, and biographies of academics, I've had that practice criticized for making the references look thicker then they are, and have been told generally that doesn't need to be cited in a list. Ideally, we would find a 3rd party discussing the film and cite that. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 23:27, 3 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

I had the same idea. Go for it. JFHJr (㊟) 23:27, 3 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
I just looked at the video, and it looks like it was created about the subject, not created by them. It looks like it is more of an interview conducted by a Terri Allard. This might mean it would work better as a source then an entry attributed to them. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 23:30, 3 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
I originally left it alone sectioned it off simply for organization because it was so out of place chronologically and topically. It should be integrated because filmography isn't really a thing here. JFHJr (㊟) 23:30, 3 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
I've removed the section, and switched to using the interview as a source for verification, rather then a listed work created by them. It could be worth mentioning that the interview exists in the article prose. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 23:37, 3 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
