The result was: [[WP:NOR|Original research]] is original research whether in its own article or in a larger one, but apart from Wikipediatrix no-one has really seemed to pay much attention to that, and we have '''no consensus''' for deletion. Outcome defaults to keep; AfD does not govern merges, anyone may do that if they feel like it. --[[User:Samuel Blanning|Sam Blanning]]^{[[User talk:Samuel Blanning|(talk)]]} 14:44, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

With apologies to the large number of Harry Potter fans I fear will descend on this page to vote keep based on their fandom rather than policy, this page fails to be an encyclopedia article and is entirely original research created by a group of fans listing the differences major and minor between the book and its movie adaptation without any analysis. This would be okay on a Harry Potter fansite, but has no encyclopedic value and is merely an indescriminate collection of information in violation of [[WP:NOT]]. More specifically, this violates point 7 of [[WP:NOT]] by essentially placing two plot summaries side-by-side without meaningful analysis (which would really not be possible on such a topic).

*'''Comment''', if this gets nominated for deletion, I suggest that the related articles ([[Differences between book and film versions of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]], [[Differences between book and film versions of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban]], [[Differences between book and film versions of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]] and [[Differences between book and film versions of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]) should as well--[[User:Tree Biting Conspiracy|<font style="background:red" color="#FFFF00">'''TBC'''</font>]]<small><font color="red">[[User talk:Tree Biting Conspiracy|TaLk?!?]]</font></small> 04:03, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

**I certainly second that. The reason I only nominated one is that I did not want to confuse the issue with an extended series of debates without seeing how the first one turned out. [[User:Indrian|Indrian]] 15:39, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete all''' as fancruft and as per nom. Fans encouraged to use [[Wikia]] instead [[User:Bwithh|Bwithh]] 04:06, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' not encyclopedic material. People can deduce this themselves, as [[Differences between eyes and ears]]. [[User:Somerset219|Somerset219]] 04:16, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' per [[WP:OR]], unless someone can find a reputable source that describes these differences. -- [[User:Koffieyahoo|Koffieyahoo]] 04:19, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' Into the movie's article. Same for all of the other films.--[[User:Ageo020|Ageo020]] 04:45, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete all.''' Cruft, cruft, cruft. A merge might be possible, if such can be done in a non-OR and NPOV way. [[User:Morgan Wick|Morgan Wick]] 05:36, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete'' unless extensive citations are provided. [[User:Doczilla|Doczilla]] 07:57, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

* '''Merge''' with the individual film and/or book articles just like every other book/film conversion [[User:Konman72|Konman72]] 10:42, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' into movie's article per [[User:Ageo020|Ageo020]]. [[User:BenFrantzDale|—Ben FrantzDale]] 12:28, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' (or expand with critical commentary). Needs context of broader article. Authors should work to add (third-party, sourced) critical commentary to explain significance of these differences. [[User:Fairsing|Fairsing]] 15:44, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

*'''Merge or Keep, but no Delete.''' This belongs in the film's article. If it gets too long it may need its own article. Given the wide audience of the book and film, this information should not be deleted outright. [[User:Cdcon|<font style="background: #000077" color="white"><b>&nbsp;Cdcon&nbsp;</b></font>]] 17:28, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' into the film's article per above. [[User:BryanG|BryanG]]^{[[User talk:BryanG|(talk)]]} 17:38, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete'''. Pottercruft. Inherently original research, and not important enough for a merge. There's not a movie in existence that doesn't differ from its book counterpart. [[User:Wikipediatrix|wikipediatrix]] 19:40, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' to [[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (film)]]. Interesting information, but not worth its own article. [[User:JIP|<font color="#CC0000">J</font><font color="#00CC00">I</font><font color="#0000CC">P</font>]] | [[User talk:JIP|Talk]] 19:41, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' to the film's article. We don't need a separate article on this. --'''[[User:Coredesat|Core]][[User:Coredesat/Esperanza|<font color="green">des</font>]][[User:Coredesat|at]]''' <small>[[User talk:Coredesat|talk. ^_^]]</small> 19:48, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

*'''Merge''', should not be deleted as it is useful information. --[[User:Musicpvm|musicpvm]] 22:46, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' into where relevant. [[User:Mukadderat|Mukadderat]] 19:15, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
