Not accurate info![edit]

Barrow Hills School is not in Weybridge, it is in Witley, near Godalming Paul Crisell (talk) 19:50, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct. According to Barrow Hills School website, the school was originally based near Weybridge but moved to Witley in 1952 long before Nolan attended. Unfortunately, the citation used is from The Nolan Variations book which describes the school as being in Weybridge and I do not have another citation for Nolan attending this school. I will leave it up to others to decide if it's OK to edit based on this. Musetaker (talk) 10:50, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Given how short the page is, and how few sources it has, I don't think it needs to be separate at this time. Most other articles in Category:Lists of unrealized projects by artist have at least a dozen entries, and the next-shortest (Phil Lord and Christopher Miller's unrealized projects) has more than double this one with far more coverage. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 09:12, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • My question is, why should we list unrealized projects in the first place? Wiki is not an information depository, such as IMDB. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 08:47, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Because they've received coverage from reputable sources and are of interest to readers, just like everything on this website. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 08:57, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I understand, but Wikipedia:Verifiability#Verifiability does not guarantee inclusion. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 10:45, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Fair enough, though I also don't see the point of discussing this here. This discussion is about one article, not a whole series of them. I think WT:FILM would be the more appropriate venue for what you're bringing up. Now if you have an opinion on my merger proposal above, I'd love to hear it, but otherwise please move on. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 11:04, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll merge it if more people agree. Kautilyapundit (talk) 05:01, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, for the reasons above. This is career-relevant information, and it has citations, but there's not enough of it to justify a stand-alone page. Moonreach (talk) 17:43, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per above. It is relatively short to warrant a stand-alone article and one of the films is already mentioned in the main article. FrB.TG (talk) 15:45, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per above. Though interesting and quite relevant, it is a subsection at best, not an article. Mia yun Ruse (talk) 21:33, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong support Basically a stub. InfiniteNexus (talk) 18:23, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge Information on these can be in the main article. Cowlibob (talk) 17:14, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 28 March 2024[edit]

The article has missing information: Please add:

Christopher Nolan has US, UK and Irish citizenship. The article is missing the Irish one but he himself confirmed he has it in a Q&A promoting Oppenheimer available under [1] at 7 minutes 10 seconds. Please edit the last line in the first paragraph under „Early life“. 109.42.240.119 (talk) 23:13, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I went to 7:10 in the linked video and did not hear him mention this. Can you confirm the timestamp? Pdubs.94 (talk) 02:45, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done: Lack of reply from IP means this edit request is procedurally declined. For what it's worth, clicking the same link shows me various videos all of which could conceivably be construed to be a Q&A, so I don't even know which video the timestamp applies to. —Sirdog (talk) 05:05, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I added this comment to the talk page: "See: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sB-JhaVzZ7I at timestamp 1.32, Cillian Murphy mentions that Christopher Nolan has an Irish passport."

Semi-protected edit request on 29 March 2024[edit]

Hello! I suggest, or submit, that the references to the subject as "Sir" Christopher Nolan be emended, as the only sources cited as evidence of this apparent knighthood speak in the future tense, and therefore as having not actually been bestowed (as of time of submission). Ie, 'set to be given a knighthood', not actually given yet. 2406:2D40:40C7:3010:3181:1660:DD3C:F6D2 (talk) 07:47, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per Debrett's, "An honour may be used from the moment it has been announced in the Press. There is no need to wait until the recipient has received the accolade or been invested." (https://debretts.com/peerage/the-knightage/) He is Sir Christopher and his wife is Dame Emma as of the announcement - no need to wait for their investiture ceremony.
