Critical reception of the 1934 film "Service with a Smile"

How was critical reception of the 1934 film "Service with a Smile"? Yellow Sunstreaker (talk) 06:27, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Courtesy link: Service with a Smile (1934 film). All I can find is a brief notice in The Film Daily, mostly plot-summary, with the comment that it's "a sprightly and entertaining job". The headline is "Swell Musical Comedy". --Antiquary (talk) 09:53, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Creating pages for individual episodes for a TV series

What are the policies as to when pages should be created for each episode of a certain TV series? I looked at two very well-known TV series on Wikipedia - Glee and Stranger Things. Glee has separate pages for every single episode in all 6 seasons, while for Stranger Things, there's not even a separate page for all of the episodes combined.--SkyGazer 512 ^{talk / contributions / subpages} 14:10, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

There are guidelines at Wikipedia:Television episodes. Basically the rule for single-episodes is the same as for any other article: only create them if the episodes are notable (in the Wikipedia sense). AndrewWTaylor (talk) 15:40, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Sigmund Jähn in Goodbye Lenin

Hi,

In the article Sigmund Jähn, it is written that in the movie Goodbye Lenin, Alex hires a taxi driver who looks like Jahn. I've watched the movie many times and the taxi driver is a fictive version of the real Jahn so he actually is Jahn. Anybody else can confirm and then correct the article? 2001:EE0:4041:1F9:CC95:2A83:F5D0:D856 (talk) 14:37, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

R. Nagesh (Lambu Nagesh)

Why has Wikipedia not created a page for Kannada Actor Late R. Nagesh or Lambu Nagesh, so far? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.48.103.2 (talk) 14:58, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia doesn't create pages, individual users do that. And apparently no one has created pages for those folks. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 15:31, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Mostly because YOU didn't create the pages. Wikipedia only exists because people who care write articles about what they care about. If you care about this subject, then you are the only person who can be held responsible for not creating the articles. --Jayron32 23:58, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia has a page to request the creation of new articles.

Wikipedia:Requested_articles (An actor would be added here, I think.)

Asking there will be more likely to lead to the creation of an article, and less likely to lead to people insisting that you write it yourself. ApLundell (talk) 02:48, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
