Requested move 26 June 2016[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Move as unopposed. (non-admin closure) — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 01:18, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Evil Dead (franchise) → Evil Dead – Currently Evil Dead redirects to Evil Dead (franchise). Whereas, The Evil Dead (disambiguation) mostly contains Evil Dead franchase-related articles, including the "Other uses" section, where the band name of Evildead and the song "The Evil Dead" were also inspired by Sam Raimi's film The Evil Dead. Also, as you can notice, that article is not titled as The Evil Dead (film), because it is a primary topic. Thus, I suggest to rename Evil Dead (franchise) to Evil Dead as well per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.--Russian Rocky (talk) 14:08, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Should there be a page for deadites?[edit]

Personally I don't have the page editing skills to make a page for the deadites, but I think that their big enough of a fictional concept to have their own page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.210.129.51 (talk) 14:13, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

evil dead (1981) or Within the Woods(1978)[edit]

somebody edited original work part to Within the Woods(1978) then which one is original work? Volkan1881 (talk) 09:15, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Actor inaccuracy?[edit]

It's actually not impossible that this edit-warred removal is incorrect. Is literally no one else making the claim that the actor is not the one we're including? What are we using as a source for Mia Challis? The source at Evil Dead Rise only says that she's been reported to be joining the cast and that she will play Jessica. I'm not sure that's good enough to keep readding something we aren't sure about and which someone is disputing? I think we need a better citation to support this information.

Thank you! You should go to IMDb since Mike Allen doesn’t pay attention to this kind of stuff and just edit pages with the information he thinks is right. On IMDb is the entire cast and it says that Jessica is played by Anna-Maree Thomas and we can also spot that actress in the trailer scalping someone. 213.233.88.63 (talk) 15:00, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

IP, unfortunately because IMDb is crowdsourced, Wikipedia doesn't consider it a reliable source. We need some reliable source telling us who is playing Jessica, and if you google "Mia Challis" "Evil Dead", she's mentioned as a cast member in multiple hits. "Anne-Maree Thomas" and "Evil Dead" brings up basically nothing. Valereee (talk) 15:14, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes! I understand what you’re saying and I respect that you’re saying it without mocking what I said just like that man did. Check this article to draw some conclusions! Hope this helps!

To be fair, you were edit-warring to insert or remove content without providing a reliable source; perhaps as a very new editor you didn't realize the talk page was where we discussed such things. We also frown on making personal attacks, even when very frustrated, so please avoid that in future. Try to assume good faith, even when you think someone is incorrect.

@MikeAllen, that looks like AOL news, which seems likely reliable? What are your thoughts? Valereee (talk) 15:29, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Yes AOL is reposting the Deadline Hollywood review which is a reliable source. That’s all I have ever asked for from this IP user from day one, a reliable source. This morning I had removed all but the, at the time, verifiable principal cast members from Evil Dead Rise. I will add the new source with the other cast when I get home tonight (I don’t like mobile editing) unless someone already does. There was no need to make any of this personal.
