Making List More Accurate

Bully and Boys don't cry aren't really films à clef. They use the real names the people, and do not require the "key" required to figure it out.I have thus removed them from the examples. 24.148.26.74 (talk) 23:52, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Is 'Walk the line' worth mentioning? --91.97.113.251 (talk) 01:43, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

WorldCat Genres

Hello, I'm working with OCLC, and we are algorithmically generating data about different Genres, like notable Authors, Book, Movies, Subjects, Characters and Places. We have determined that this Wikipedia page has a close affintity to our detected Genere of romans-a-clef. It might be useful to look at [1] for more information. Thanks.

I recommend deletion

It's a dictionary entry, with an appended list of OR.

Recommendation posted. Any discussion?

Article should be expanded, not deleted. Example Roman à clef. Brz7 (talk) 09:53, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Illogic is a poor argument. It remains a puffed-up dictionary entry, and any who'd claim it has potential utility are unable to turn it into something encyclopedic. I am not here to salvage all the abandoned ugly puppies littering Wikipedia. Weeb Dingle (talk) 19:45, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

A compromise: I will wait until the end of September (2017) before removing all of the "notable" examples that aren't at that time linked to a credible source. Weeb Dingle (talk) 19:49, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

Vote MERGE into Roman à clef (or just delete), furthermore most of the entries here are not true but instead "based on ..." which is different than "literally IS ... except with a name change" Hornpipe2 (talk) 15:51, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Film à clef

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Film à clef's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "auto1":

• From Greek junta: Clogg, Richard "The Ideology of the "revolution of 21 April 1967'" pp. 36–58 from Greece Under Military Rule edited by Richard Clogg & George Yannopoloulos; London: Secker & Warburg, 1971 p. 43.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT⚡ 18:32, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
