Dictdef of a Variety-speak slang word. RickK 06:21, Jul 5, 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Same user posted a bizarre dicdef/substub called Late night that I've nominated as a speedy. If anyone objects, please feel free to move it here. - Lucky 6.9 06:33, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Redirect to Historical drama film. Jay 15:31, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Biographical films are an important genre of film about which there could eventually be a great encyclopedia article. So I say move and redirect. Gdr 17:56, 2004 Jul 5 (UTC)
- If there were a Biographical film, this would be a redirect, seems to me. There is a ton to say about biographical films, and "biopic" is very frequently used in movie reviews now. It's conceivable that someone would want to search for it or that an author writing about a movie might use it on Wikipedia. The content of this entry, though, is less than nil: it's wrong.

- I've rewritten this as a (hopefully) more acceptable stub. Is this okay now? Ambivalenthysteria 14:39, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- It's better and a fair stub, but would you mind creating Biographical film, putting these contents there, and then allowing Biopic to Redirect, or would you prefer Biographical film be a Redirect to Biopic and then get more bulk to it? The genre goes back to the very origins of cinema and has remained popular, whether we're talking Pride of the Yankees (sports biopic subgenre), Wizard of Menlo Park (heroic subgenre, I guess), or the political biopics. I don't think Lumiere did one, but Edison did, I think. Geogre 15:30, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Moved and redirected. Needs a lot of work to become more than just a List of biographical films... Gdr 19:08, 2004 Jul 6 (UTC)
