Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

[edit] Deletion Debate

This is not spam. My contributions have been themed to this and similar projects as well as cross referencing the subject matter. There are plenty of external references, and suggestions on how to expand this article so that it conforms better with Wiki expectations are appreciated. My attempts to provide redirects for this title have been eliminated even though their are many A/K/As that students, teachers and parents may seek: Rats & Bullies, Rats & Bullies : The Dawn Marie Wesley Story (without hyphen between Dawn-Marie) and Rats and Bullies.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Raybuffer (talk • contribs)

I think the best thing I can do here is to refer you to WP:SPAM and ask you not to do it again. Also, Wikipedia is an Encyclopaedia, it is not about optimising keywords, there is NO WAY it is acceptable to create empty articles just to re-direct in order to do that. Also, if you check out WP:NOTE you will find that yourv movie does not easily meet that criteria either. --Zeraeph 20:01, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure I understand when a redirect is to be used then. I took examples from other similar articles that have gone unchallenged. If it is not to help someone find the proper title of something then what is it for? Why would a redirect not be empty? It instantly redirects people to the proper article. They would never see the article that the redirect is in, so for it to have content would be superfilious. I've read the article on notability, and all that seems to tell me is that the administrators would rather see sock puppets.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Raybuffer (talk • contribs)

Raybuffer, redirects are usually created when an existing article is renamed or merged, they aren't just created, as you did, to utilise keywords. Can you provide an link to the section on WP:NOTE that states that administrators prefer sockpuppets? Because I cannot find it.--Zeraeph 23:21, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
