  2. I think that Wikipedia should keep the length at 75 minutes. This is referenced on several other sites, while the one editor "claims" that he has one that is 51 minutes in length. While it may not be fair, Wikipedia must choose the correct way to go about things, in this case, references. Amazon.com would be the reference in this case, because the site can be referenced. The editor can not be referenced, due to him just "claiming" that his is 51. No one should be allowed to add false, unreferenced material to Wikipedia. It does not belong in the encyclopedia if it can not be referenced. I do not believe it is a violation of WP:IAR to require a source for this editor's claim of 51 minutes, as it may not even be true.Izzy007 Talk May 27 2008.

  4. Clearly original research, therefore it should be listed as 75. Enigma message 04:04, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
  5. Again, the question is not very well posed. E.g. it is unclear if the length of the DVD is mentioned in the newspaper coverage of the trial. Assuming that the answer is "no", the article should say that "the length of the DVD is 75 minutes according to the trial transcripts and Amazon.com". I think it is OK to reference a trial transcript (if it is publicly available) and Amazon.com as primary sources for the above statement. Nsk92 (talk) 20:09, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
  6. Unless the claim is published, it's irrelevant. Even Amazon is an adequate source for this sort of information. DGG (talk) 20:11, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
  7. This ones easy, the 51min claim is original research, but worth looking at the studio and other film sites out there - if Amazon is quoting the directors cut there could be a 51minute version in existence with a quotable reference.Jonathan Cardy (talk) 12:42, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

  11. Especially if someone else has it and they say it's 75. Is this editor sane? Are they just kindling fires from their computer chair for fun? Do they have the right video? Google it. If everywhere says 75, yes. Eman235/talk 05:13, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
