Train Ride to Hollywood

Bruce the Terrible has repeatedly added Train Ride to Hollywood to the "Representation in other media" section. I have removed it several times on the grounds that it is not appropriately sourced. An editor noting similarities or references to other media is WP:Original research. I can't really expand much further than I do in my edit summary, where I refer to Misplaced Pages:Manual_of_Style/Film#Popular_culture, which states that such observations "should be supported by third-party sources that place the reference into context". A third party source is one that explicitly notes the representation itself. The Godfather has been riffed and referenced in hundreds of media; not all of them are important or worth noting, so should not be added to the article unless they are the subject of sourced commentary. Betty Logan (talk) 20:13, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Betty: Well, then, how do I source it? I'm sorry that I can't find a specific reference to the use of two of Marlon Brando's characters in Bloodstone's movie, and I am sorry that Train Ride to Hollywood isn't as well-known as other pop-music movies - or that Bloodstone themselves aren't as well-remembered as other 1970s soul bands. All I have is the movie itself, which clearly shows the Godfather / Wild One references. What, then, would you suggest? - Bruce Bruce the Terrible (talk) 21:35, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

If no sources discuss it then it obviously doesn't belong in the article. As I note above, not every representation needs to be added to the article; if we noted every single example of media that had riffed the film then the section would be longer than the rest of the article put together.

Vito's second son

Fredo is older than Michael and it was him that was sheltered by Moe Greene in Las Vegas,so Fredo is not the second son. 2A04:4A43:8BBF:FEF8:BC81:63C6:D577:1EC (talk) 22:56, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Sonny is older than Fredo. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:18, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
