Movie Making Manual-Film_Academy Training
Another person nominated this page for speedy deletion due to it being an advertisement. It does look a bit like an advertisement to me, however its part of a book that was Book of the Month for August 2006, and this page has existed this way since before Augist 2006 from what I can tell, so am not sure if it is actually a problem or not. Figured better to bring it here and let others vote on it first. --darklama 00:33, 8 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I dont know enough about this page either, and I think it would be in our best interests to ask the authors of that book about the status of this page. If they want it gone, it should go. If they want it to stay, it will stay. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 02:06, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

*Keep - There are at least 2 commercial references and I doubt there are free movie classes, the problem seems to be the lack of alternatives but one may not impose that people contribute the missing info and write the books, the best way I see to fix this is to ask the active contributors to add more references to keep it NPV (but the actual 2 that are there, may just cover this point), as for the information it seems of relevance to a person interested in the book subject and in line with similar references to web sites on other books as there's, as previous discussed, a lack for a policy on this subject I don't see a reason covered by any other that makes this page a candidate for deletion. --Panic 04:23, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete - Herbythyme "It was one of the editors of that who speedy'd it in the first place" - --Panic 15:39, 8 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong delete - I know you folk are amazingly tolerant but this is not a book. It is an advertisement.  Before you know it people will use WB rather than WP -- Herby  talk thyme 07:58, 8 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete - If there was more information about this topic rather than the links to external sites then I might agree that it's a book but as it stands at the moments it's an advertisement. Xania 11:04, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - bad naming convention, which I'm fixing now. Has anyone from MMM been asked about it yet? -- SB_Johnny | talk 11:28, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - for Xania - there is an entire (& good) book on theis Movie Making Manual. There are some pages that have taken advantage of this by spamming us.  To Johnny - yep on here and WP.  It was one of the editors of that who speedy'd it in the first place -- Herby  talk thyme 11:31, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * In that case, delete. -- SB_Johnny | talk 11:34, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - I asked about it at Talk:Movie Making Manual after what Whiteknight said. --darklama 11:59, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
