Talk:The Force (advertisement)

Proposed merger

I was concerned Max Page (actor) might not be notable enough for his own article. His role in The Young and the Restless is hardly worth mentioning. Maybe later he will do something big. Since someone created this article, I'm going to propose all the relevant content, most of which I contributed, be moved here.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 23:43, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Normally I'd think that a child actor with a one commercial, plus a couple of other small roles, would be a prime candidate for deletion per WP:ENTERTAINER. However there do seem to be WP:RS that are specifically about him, esp the MSNBC and NY Daily News links. As most of the Max Page article concerns this advertisement merging doesn't seem unreasonable but I can't see an AfD (if one occurred) ever voting for deletion.

Even if he never does anything else? I did notice that this article doesn't even describe the commercial, and according to its history never did even though it has been there a year. That's very strange. I would almost support a reverse merger but the Star Wars template pretty much dictates that this article be the one to stay.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 21:21, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

It is a bit overkill to have two articles on approximately the same subject so merger is fine. Someone might argue that WP:ONEEVENT would apply to the actor but I don't think its clear cut. Tassedethe (talk) 21:41, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

We can reverse it if his TV role grows or he does something else. I'll give this a little more time and act accordingly later.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 22:41, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Incidentally, your edit to The Force made this change: we go from having a link there to the most comprehensive information Wikipedia has on the subject to having a link to an article on the topic which doesn't really explain why it was so popular--only THAT it was so popular.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 22:59, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Okay, there doesn't seem to be a lot of discussion on this, but here is what I am planning if no one disagrees.

All of the text in Max Page (actor) can go here, with some modifications since it's a secondary topic. In the event Max significantly increases his air time on The Young and the Restless (I read several soap columns and if he has been mentioned, it wasn't much) or does something else important, his article can be reinstated, but with only a brief summary of his activities relating to the commercial, since the details can be here with the {{main}} template directing people who want more information.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 19:38, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Last chance. Any objections?Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 20:39, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

I hope I made enough of an effort. There wasn't any real discussion, but no one objected. Please remember that if this kid does anything else of consequence, his biographical details can go back to Max Page (actor), with a brief statement about the commercial, whose details remain here.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 20:42, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Reversing the merger

And now we've had an objection to Max Page's biography being here.

I saw his character mentioned once in a soap opera summary, so I would say his role on The Young and the Restless is not particularly noteworthy. I'm not aware of whether he has done anything else. If not, I'm concerned his article cannot stand alone.

If we can get people to agree on a separate article, here is how it should look. And I would think more needs to be added after several more years, but I can look for information later. Not something I can do at home with slow Internet.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:40, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Incorrect reference to other movie – I think

In the sidekick on Max Page, the text:

    Known for    Donald Trump's The Art of the Deal: The Movie

is incorrect, at least as far as I can gather from that film’s article.

And – I guess this should have its own section here – while I’m at it, I have to report that Reference #10 is a dead link. That’s the one with this text:

Inbar, Michael (February 7, 2011). "'Little Darth Vader' reveals face behind the Force". MSNBC. Retrieved 2011-02-07. --Geke (talk) 08:05, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
