This article has been revised as part of a large-scale clean-up project of multiple article copyright infringement. (See the investigation subpage.)

Should the article mention that Volodymyr Zelenskyy was a voice actor in dubbed releases of the films? (quick and dirty talk page discussion suggestion)[edit]

Support: current events make this of key interest to anyone reading this article. --Shirt58 (talk) 09:54, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Conditional support: not this article, and most definitely not its lede, but as a section in Paddington 2#Production --Shirt58 (talk) 09:54, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: it is factually incorrect. The Guardian reported that Zelenskyy was the voice actor in the Russian language dub of the film, not the Ukrainian language dub.--Shirt58 (talk) 09:54, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for spotting that; corrected. Richard75 (talk) 12:09, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Actually the Guardian might be wrong; other sources say it was the Ukrainian version (both films): [1], [2], [3]. Richard75 (talk) 12:19, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: pure trivia, also potentially a WP:BLP problem if no better reliable sources can be found.--Shirt58 (talk) 09:54, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support: I don't agree that it's purely trivia, it's a perfectly reasonable thing to include given current events. I don't have a fixed view about where in the article to include it. Richard75 (talk) 12:09, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
