@Napalm: Nope. Newton still splits his time between Screened and AnimeVice, but AV has always been his main site. ScanCase is still around but I know a lot of things happened all at once for him so it makes sense that moderating Screened isn't a high priority.

Here is another concept that I feel needs to be taken a look at: Death. It has over 1,200 movies attached to it. In fact, the first two pages are movies that aren't even released yet. The concept is pretty abused. It looks like people are adding movies that have a death in them.

Mustache, Suit, Lipstick, Airplane, Kitchen Knife, Helicopter, Tattoo, and Tattoo. Seriously, does anyone even care if someone has a mustache in a movie? And can't Bow and Arrow be combined to a single thing, Bow and Arrow? They usually appear together.

Here are some more I found:

Coffee - If we're removing alcohol, we might as well get rid of this.

Elder Wand - We already have a page called the Deathly Hallows which includes the Elder Wand.

What do you think of Big-Ass Knife?

@Acura_Max: I'm for getting rid of Big-Ass Knife, and replacing it with the actual knives in the films. And I would rather see detailed pages for each Deathly Hallow, instead of all lumped together. That way, you can also put the proper Deathly Hallow in the appropriate film.

@Acura_Max: I'll get death when I can, but I agree. Alcohol is still up for now because it's a part of a quest but it will be deleted soon. And I'd rather have Deathly Hallows deleted and add the other 2 hallows to the wiki than delete the elder wand, like what Mike20 said.

@mike20: I got as many as I could and completely agree. As for the knife thing I'd prefer only knives that are actually named or have significance in the movie. A bowie knife is a famous design but having it on the wiki doesn't add much. But something like Pussy Wagon is specific enough and something that can't be added to 100 different movies.

@mike20: @FinalDasa: It looks like we don't need to add the other two Deathly Hallows. If you look in the wiki the resurrection stone and cloak of invisibility are already added, So we only need to delete the Deathly Hallows page.

School is a bit generic since we have a high school and middle/junior high page.

If suit is generic, so is tuxedo.

Wine is just a type of alcohol. Should it be deleted?

Other objects that are more debatable

Sam Raimi's car - For some reason, the picture says that this is duplicate.

Power Suit

Motorcycle

@Acura_Max: Sorry it took so long. I took care of the ones I could. I need to make another pass through and delete some more objects but I'd like to also kill some locations the next purge I make.

United States, Europe, and Africa are too broad. Bar should be a specific bar name. Bathroom is... kinda silly.

Nominations to delete

Middle Finger - Should be at concept at best, but not an object

Mystical Relic - Generic

Czech Republic - It's a place, not an object.

Other nominations for consideration

Cane Blade - I think we can just add this to description to the cane page.

Mullet - /mullet/30-537/

@mike20: Got most of them.

@Acura_Max: Cane Blade I think is ok, it's not crazy specific but not too many movies have one so it's fine to stay. However cane was way to broad, so that went.
