Per multiple discussions on the subject of an uncredited role - I was a participant in several, such as at Talk:John Wick#Director credit. Usually the consensus is that uncredited people should not be listed, which I agree with. But as I said then: Case-by-case judgment is necessary. In a situation where an uncredited writer or director is deemed to have contributed enough to also be listed in the infobox, below the credited writer and/or director, than the name should certainly be tagged with "(uncredited)" - as most are that I have seen. That is what I have done here. Numerous reliable sources list uncredited people in infoboxes, such as the AFI. But they are labelled as such. To not label them as uncredited would be misrepresenting the credits and misleading the reader. The same goes for filmography tables. Clearly John Wick should be included for David Leitch, as long as it's labelled "(uncredited)". - Gothicfilm (talk) 18:04, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'd agree it's important to list him, however, I do not believe we have to follow the credits if we clearly state in prose which his involvement, like, anyone can claim they were there and uncredited as a director, but who says they were? what detail? what content? If we have that in there, then we should be fine, instead of just placing verbal asterisks everywhere. Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:11, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As I said, case-by-case judgment is necessary. If you want to misrepresent the credits by removing the "(uncredited)" tag, you'll need to get consensus. - Gothicfilm (talk) 19:18, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Which is what we are trying to do here. Duh. I'd tag things saying they need dicussion, but I know how you feel about that. In this case, it's an article on the director, not an infobox. If you want to explain how he was an uncredited director, you best get into detail. How do you feel about that? Please respond without (well we'll wait for others), I'd like to hear your thoughts or rules and guidelines that help follow this. Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:24, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It has been over a year and no one has attempted to add any sources for Leitch's filmography. I'll be pruning it to a sourced format later unless someone else starts tackling it. Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:46, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This page needs to be expanded with sections such as 'Early life', a section about his career, and possibly personal life. As-is it's just a page showing all his filmography credits. If no one else gets around to this, I will do so eventually. I'm too tired right now, after changing the chart format and dividing it up into sections.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 07:38, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a reliable source for some information regarding this filmmaker, here. Check back later. If noone has gotten around to it, I will continue working on expanding this page.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 06:12, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Here is another useful interview where the filmmaker talks about his personal life (with his wife), and his early career, as well what led him to becoming a director, here. The interviewer is extremely annoying - but I will use this interview to create a summarized contribution to the page.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 06:40, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And a possible third article as well. Will work on this soon.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 06:43, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
