Biographical film[edit]

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
