Talk:Maurice Richard

Biographical film

Regarding this edit (which I subsequently modified): is being the subject of a film appropriate for the "Legacy" section? Is it suitable for mention elsewhere in the article? isaacl (talk) 17:13, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

I think it is best suited in the legacy section. Flibirigit (talk) 17:26, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

I guess it could be considered a kind of honour? To me it's just history; calling it a legacy is like saying this Wikipedia article is part of Richard's legacy. If there were a "In popular culture" section (which I'm not necessarily recommending, as I dislike the amorphous, catch-all nature of this type of section) it would fit better there. isaacl (talk) 18:32, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

I also dislike the "pop culture" header, that's why I think it's fine as is. Flibirigit (talk) 19:41, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

I don't see it as part of Richard's legacy, however, given the many other ways that Richard has made a lasting impact on the game of hockey. isaacl (talk) 04:58, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

If you don't like the header, pop culture or legacy, then pick something else like "In Film." Maybe it will go well with The Hockey Sweater, which is a short film that's already covered in the legacy section. Flibirigit (talk) 05:30, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

The Hockey Sweater is different; it's an iconic story for Canadians (due in no small part to the NFB short). "Personal life" could probably be renamed to something like "Post-retirement" and then the film could be mentioned there. isaacl (talk) 05:43, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Don't lose any sleep over this. I suggest asking more of the hockey community for a consensus. I have nothing else to say. Flibirigit (talk) 06:04, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Yes, that's the purpose of this thread; I'm asking interested parties for their views to reach a consensus. isaacl (talk) 16:49, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
