Vault of Terror[edit]

I came across this after declining a speedy for a film by one of the directors (Sean Weathers) that contributed to this compilation DVD. I noticed that his films in general have had notability issues to merit their own article and was about to redirect this to Weathers' article when I noticed that there would be an issue in just redirecting to him. There are four films on the DVD, Night of the Living Dead, Driller Killer, Weathers' film, and another film by a director who doesn't have an article. There's no clear place to redirect this to, as we have multiple places to redirect to. Redirecting to Weathers isn't an option since it's a bit misleading since it's not the name of the piece he created. I can't find any sources that really discuss this specific DVD set as a whole to show that it particularly merits its own article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:57, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete While it is certainly possible that some of this DVD Anthology's individual films may themselves be notable, being put into a compilation does not make that compilation separately notable. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 12:32, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
To Tokyogirl79: While we cannot have one redirect going to four different films or their directors, the better option is to either redirect to Weathers as the DVD producer, or have a sourced one-line mention in articles on its separate films saying something like "film name here was re-released September 17, 2013 as part of the Sean Weathers-produced anthology DVD Vault Of Terror.

I'm just slightly worried about doing this in this instance since both of the two movies that are notable are in the public domain and are re-released pretty frequently. We could limit it to the companies or producers that have articles, but that would still be a fairly lengthy list when you get to films such as Night of the Living Dead and Driller Killer. It's fairly common for many companies to make DVD sets with one or all of the films being public domain titles. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:07, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just a thought for this particular instance. I also imagine that sourced mentions of such for any film included in later compilations would serve readers when the compilation itself has no separate notability. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 20:53, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
