Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Legends of the Fall, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. The category being added must already exist, and must be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. It's not clear to me on what basis you categorized this as a 'father and son' film, especially as I don't see any real discussion of that dynamic in the article.

DonIago, the basis of my categorization of Legends of the Fall as a ‘father and son’ film is the plot description in the opening section which states “film is about three brothers and their father,” the film poster which displays father and son characters, and the plot summary which goes on to detail the relationships between the three sons and their father. You are free to remove categories as you wish if they do not meet your standards for what qualifies as a ‘father and son’ film. Spectrallights (talk) 22:39, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What you're describing...applying a category based on the plot description and poster rather than any sources...is the definition of original research. Please tell me that the categories you've been adding to other film articles have been based on more than the plot descriptions and promo materials.

It seems to me that viewing the film counts as original research. And while many films can fit several categories—this film addresses individual freedom vs governmental authority, for example—Legends of the Fall is very much the story of a father's relationships with his three distinctly different sons. I defy anyone with a brain who has viewed this film to argue otherwise. And I did original research: I viewed the film.

Hi Spectrallights! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, Claims of “original research”, has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days (usually at least two days, and sometimes four or more). You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please feel free to create a new thread. The archival was done by Lowercase sigmabot III, and this notification was delivered by Muninnbot, both automated accounts. You can opt out of future notifications by placing {{bots|deny=Muninnbot}} here on your user talk page. Muninnbot (talk) 19:00, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted the ones you brought to my attention, since they were obviously not properly supported by the sources. If it continues, however, please bring it to WP:ANI; as I've already been involved in reverting, I wouldn't be the right person to impose an editblock if it comes to that.

Alright, thank you for your input. Spectrallights (talk) 00:49, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Category:Films about disability in France indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:08, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
