Nominator(s): ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 12:22, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Robert De Niro is an American actor, producer, and director. He is mostly known for his work in crime films, thrillers and collaborations with filmmaker Martin Scorsese. Some of his work include Raging Bull (1980), The King of Comedy (1982), The Godfather Part II (1974), Goodfellas (1990), and Casino (1995) to name a few. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 12:22, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Drive-by comment
  • Is it really relevant to include that he performed in a school production of The Wizard of Oz when he was 10 years old? That's not something I would normally expect to see in an actor's filmography..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:45, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments
  • De Niro portrayed as Travis Bickle - I would replace "portrayed as" with "portrayed" or "portrays"
  • Artemis Fowl has already been released, straight to Disney+. Tried watching it, but it was atrocious. You should make a note that it lost its theatrical release.

Nice article. I came across this one a few weeks ago and wondered why it wasn’t a FL. ~ HAL333 15:43, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

;Further comments
  • "Taxi Driver was ranked number 1 in the 100 greatest movies set in New York City by Time Out magazine" - not sure this is really relevant to his filmography (also "best film set in NYC" is pretty trivial)
  • "In 1978, De Niro appeared in Michael Cimino's war drama The Deer Hunter, the film is based on" => "In 1978, De Niro appeared in Michael Cimino's war drama The Deer Hunter, a film based on"
  • "collaborated with Scorsese in musical-drama" => "collaborated with Scorsese on musical drama"
  • "which Scorsese threw away and said "[the book was] full of shit"" => "which Scorsese threw away and said was "full of shit""
  • "in which De Niro was praised for his performance" => "in which he was praised for his performance"
  • "The King of Comedy, in the film, he appeared as" => "The King of Comedy, in which he appeared as"
  • "Then the next year, De Niro appeared" => "The following year, De Niro appeared"
  • "De Niro starred in Penny Marshall's Awakenings based on" => "De Niro starred in Penny Marshall's Awakenings, based on"
  • " In the film, De Niro plays as" => " In the film, De Niro plays"
  • "who wakes from his sleep 30 years later" - this wording can't be right, he can't have simply been asleep for 30 years, that isn't physically possible
  • "Then the next year, De Niro appeared in Scorsese's " => "The following year, De Niro appeared in Scorsese's "
  • "The film focuses on Max Cady (played by De Niro), a convicted rapist" - this could easily be joined to the previous sentence as "De Niro appeared in Scorsese's psychological thriller Cape Fear as Max Cady, a convicted rapist"
  • "In 2019, De Niro appeared" - exactly the same opening as the previous sentence, can you find way to vary the language?
  • "After Joker, De Niro collaborated with Martin Scorsese in" => "After Joker, De Niro collaborated with Martin Scorsese on"
  • "De Niro performance in the film" => "De Niro's performance in the film"
  • As far as I can tell from its article, he played a character in "Ellis", so the role should not be "None". If the character is not named, put that.
  • Film and TV titles starting with a number should sort as if they started with the relevant word ("Fifteen", etc)
  • The Man Who..... should sort under M
  • Think that's it from me -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:11, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Extended content
  • When there's no evidence suggesting otherwise, I'll assume good faith that File:1990 Venice Film Festival Robert De Niro.jpg is the uploader's own work
  • His middle name doesn't really seem relevant here (better for main bio)
  • I'm not sure it's appropriate to include films without known release dates, regardless of production status
  • Don't link to drafts like you did with Killers of the Flower Moon
  • Documentaries shouldn't have their own table; merge these with the films
  • Remove the comma after "short" in "Documentary short, about his father"
  • If his role for One Night Stands of a Noisy Passenger isn't known, then I don't see any point in including it here
  • What makes "Screen Rant" a trustworthy source?
  • Don't use italics for RogerEbert.com
  • "goldenglobes.com" → Golden Globe Awards without italicizing the term
  • Remove the ".com" from "IrishCentral.com", and don't italicize that either
  • Add italics for Mental Floss and Hartford Courant
  • I'd prefer something stronger than Bustle

Following sufficient improvements, I now support this nomination. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 16:00, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Source review – I found a few issues that need fixes:
  • Ref 6 is to what appears to be a self-published book. Unless Matt Green is an authority on film, this is unlikely to be a reliable source; the content itself looks similar to a Wikipedia article.
Removed.
  • Ref 45 is another self-published book in the same vein as the previous one. Again, it is unlikely to be reliable unless the author can be shown to be an authority on the subject of movies.
Removed
  • Refs 53 and 54 have some unusual page number formatting that should probably be made consistent with the other book cites.
Done. Added new sources.
  • Ref 95 could use a page number for verifiability (one appears to be available).
Done.
  • The same is true for ref 110.
Done.
  • Refs 29, 37, 132, and 148 have all caps in their titles that could use removal, and 149 has the author in all caps. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:30, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Done.
  • Upon checking the fixes, the only further issue I see is that ref 149 has the author in all caps, which shouldn't be the case (I thought I saw that earlier). Take care of this and that should do it for my source review. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:41, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

With that final comment resolved, the source review has been passed. Giants2008 (Talk) 01:16, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
