Dubious tag
If you look here, Murphy is one of eight producers for natural born killers. Pocopocopocopoco (talk) 03:52, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- Do you understand the difference between a producer (Murphy) and "executive producers" and "associate producers"? (Film_producer#Types of producers is a reasonable overview) WjBscribe 03:59, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well there are three producers for that film. Murphy is one of them. Pocopocopocopoco (talk) 04:06, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- The article doesn't seem to claim that he was the sole producer - I'm not sure what you're disputing... WjBscribe 04:22, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- The source says that Murphy "launched his career with a bang by producing Quentin Tarantino and Oliver Stone's controversial 1994 movie "Natural Born Killers,". Firstly, lauching your carreer with a bang and rising to prominence aren't the same thing. Secondly, the source seems to indicate that he was the sole producers hence it is dubious as to how much of a "bang" his career was launched. Pocopocopocopoco (talk) 04:26, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well I would point out that its only being used to source the statement that he rose to prominence due to Natural Born Killers - which is true. Also, the news source "Reuters/Hollywood Reporter" is rather more reliable than imbd (which, like Misplaced Pages, is user edited). If they view him as being the main producer, they're a reliable source for that... WjBscribe 04:30, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Birth place
Found some sources for the inclusion of this piece. Regards, NonvocalScream (talk) 23:31, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- I don't think the real issue is whether or not he was born in New York but whether we should include it anyway now we can indeed source it. I would argue that we shouldn't include it on privacy grounds, I believe in this case we should try not to include any personal information and focus exclusively on his professional career, which this is not a part of. We already make clear he is American in the opening. Thanks, SqueakBox 23:47, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- Strongly disagree; the way we judge if something should be included is if reliable sources see fit to mention it. JoshuaZ (talk) 00:17, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
