New tables

Should we add the tables of how many awards (Oscars, BAFTAs and Golden Globes) Nolan's films have won, as well as the Academy Award performances under his direction? I saw other directors have similar stuff, and I think his is long overdue. Runningman2027 (talk) 18:05, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No. There's an entire seperate article on his awards. If it goes anywhere, that would be the spot, but I don't think it's necessary there, either. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 18:10, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is no need to flood this article with tables when simple prose suffices. Same as with there being no films table because a filmography article exists, the accolades article covers different tables, so one is not needed here. — Trailblazer¹⁰¹🔥 ^{(discuss · contribs)} 18:35, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Should I add the tables on that page then? Runningman2027 (talk) 21:43, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That article already has several tables for the different awards themselves, it does not need an overview table repeating the information. — Trailblazer¹⁰¹🔥 ^{(discuss · contribs)} 22:00, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Then I would just add the table of the Academy Award performances under his direction. I hope that's okay. Runningman2027 (talk) 09:14, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's not repeated. One is about the awards received by NOLAN'S MOVIES, NOT NOLAN HIMSELF, while the other one is about the oscar-nominated roles after his direction. Runningman2027 (talk) 20:50, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

New table

Should we add the table of how many films Nolan has directed? I saw other directors had the table, and for me I think that we should add the table. ItalianCartoonGuy (talk) 13:09, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

See above discussion. Barry Wom (talk) 13:14, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What discussion? ItalianCartoonGuy (talk) 13:15, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The preceding one. The penultimate one. The one that is above. That discussion. Barry Wom (talk) 13:21, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, ok. That with the title "New tables"? or another? If is another, say the name of that discussion.ItalianCartoonGuy (talk) 14:51, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What is the discussion? ItalianCartoonGuy (talk) 15:05, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly this was already discussed in the "New tables" section immediately above this one. — Trailblazer¹⁰¹🔥 ^{(discuss · contribs)} 15:14, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
