Talk:Norm of the North

"Universally panned"

One or more drive-by, anonymous SPA editors seem to be having some problems with sourcing and definitions. Let's take this apart.

"Universally" adverb - by everyone; in every case. - We do not have a source that looks at the opinions of everyone or even all critics

"Panned" verb - criticized severely. - We do not have a source stating that the critics reviewed by RT, MC, etc. all criticized it severely. The RT score, for example, decides if each review was "positive" or not. None of them were. That does not indicate that each one criticized severely. - SummerPhD^v2.0 15:48, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Since my first note, there have been several other interpretations: "generally negative", "mostly negative", "negative", etc. The fact that editors cannot agree on a single statement to summarize what all of the sources say indicates pretty clearly that this is synthesis. - SummerPhD^v2.0 04:52, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

This is not worthy enough to have a Wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trisha Gaurav (talk • contribs) 13:18, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

"Worthy" is not a criterion. The film is notable. - SummerPhD^v2.0 13:53, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

"considered one of the worst of all time"; "universally negative reviews"

Re these edits:

For better or worse, the "considered one of the worst of all time" statement has been generally conditioned on inclusion in the article List of films considered the worst. I botched my earlier attempt to revert its addition there, I've removed it now. If you disagree with that removal, please discuss the issue there and we'll establish a consensus there the resolve the issue.

The word "universally" seems to confuse a lot of editors who seem to believe it means something along the lines of "a lot". It doesn't. It means unconditionally everyone. The source cited does not say anything close to that, only that at that early point, all of the reviews cited by RT were considered negative. There are other reviewers that RT does not list. We cannot know that all reviewers gave it a negative review and, based on the non-zero score we are told the film "has"*, we know someone liked it. Even if we some how knew there was only one reviewer in the world who liked it (which we do not know), we would know that the reviews were not "universally" negative.

(*We cannot say the film "has" a rating of 9% (present tense) as that score can change at any time. For similar reasons, Wikipedia cannot say that it "is" not raining in Paris.) - SummerPhD^v2.0 00:43, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

Keys to the Kingdom

Should we create a separate page for the sequel? because it kind of deserves it's own page. Dvdmovies123 (talk) 13:04, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

To add anything to this article, you would need a published reliable source. This is not verifiable. - SummerPhD^v2.0 00:09, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
