Also, the article has a typo in its name -- numbermaniac (talk) 11:10, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List of film director and actor collaborations and leave redirect (I fixed typo in title) as somewhat plausible search term —Мандичка^YO 😜 20:25, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2017 January 13. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 01:32, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per above, then severely prune that list. The sole criterion of three films is too weak and arbitrary, e.g. Robert Altman and John Schuck. The pairings should be significant and, most importantly, sourced. If an actor's been around for a while, eventually they're likely to work with directors with similarly long careers. So what? They aren't all in John Ford/John Wayne territory. Another terrible example: Tatum O'Neal made two movies with Peter Bogdanovich and had a cameo in a third.

Comment. Why is this listed on both January 12 and 13? Clarityfiend (talk) 02:20, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Because it was moved from a typo ("Indiam"), and the bot transcluded it again. @Yoshiman6464: Please see WP:AFDEQ, moving the article and/or AfD in the middle of a discussion can trip up automated scripts and bots, so doing so is not recommended. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:25, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
