Splitting proposal[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was to split. JAYFAX (talk) 18:41, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that section Coco (2017 film)#Music and soundtrack be split into a separate page called Coco (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack). The content of the current page seems off-topic and these sections are large enough to make their own page. 122.162.10.34 (talk) 07:08, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support Soundtrack meets WP:NALBUM sufficient for a stand-alone article. However the current section covers more than just the soundtrack so care needs to be taken to leave sufficient content in this article to cover the overall music of the film.

Support Surprised this hasn’t already been done. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 17:38, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support The music in this film is incredibly notable and it defined a lot of the film itself, it absolutely deserves its own article on top of the fact that the section in the article is too large to navigate comfortably. Fluddulation! 22:28, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support The multiple track listings are long and currently disrupt the flow of the article. JAYFAX (talk) 17:32, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Controversy" section[edit]

As of this writing, the article has a controversy section outlining the use of María de la Salud as an inspiration for Mama Coco. I don't generally have a problem with controversy sections, especially when it "takes a prominent place in the reliable sources on the topic" per guidelines, but this 'controversy' seems to have been fabricated almost entirely by the editor(s) of that section. The thread of the argument is that Disney "failed to disclose" the connection, language not used by the linked source, Mexico News Daily, or otherwise suggested by the body of sources. Of the 6 sources used, 3 don't even mention Salud, and those that do are almost entirely positive about how the movie has affected her. The only real criticism comes from Salud's granddaughter, who feels they should credit her, but that is not enough to warrant a controversy. I promose the section be dismantled on the grounds that there is no prominent 'controversy' and most of it appears to be synth, and mention of Salud's influence be moved to the production section, where the granddaughter's criticism can also be included.2600:8800:2382:E200:2975:EC41:76E8:3A12 (talk) 16:55, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Plot summary revamp[edit]

While I agree with most of EEBuchanan (talk · contribs)'s changes to the plot section, I think we should work out some of the changes here rather than get involved in an edit war. We can try streamlining the plot to remove any unnecessary words and detail as per the Wikipedia:How to streamline a plot summary guide. For example, I think we can rewrite this descriptor "Rescued by Imelda and the family, Miguel reveals the truth about Héctor's death" down to "Rescued by his family, Miguel tells them the truth about Héctor's death".

Of course, I would welcome any changes to the version I worked on back in December 2017. If there are any thoughts about how the plot summary should be revamped, please post your thoughts here. Thoughts? Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 16:14, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Songwriter, Song Producer, Score Orchestrator, Arranger, and Additional Music Composer Germaine Franco[edit]

The current page does not include any information about Songwriter, Song Producer, Score Orchestrator, Arranger, and additional music composer Germaine Franco. Her contributions to the film are essential to the films success and need to be recognized within the current Coco wikipedia entry.

The community should work to include her and credit her work in the body of the public facing Coco wikipedia entry.

Her work on the Oscar®-winning Pixar film COCO (2017) spanned over four years. Franco co-wrote and produced five of the six original songs with screenwriter and co-director Adrian Molina, including “Un Poco Loco”, “The World Es Mi Familia” and “Proud Corazón”. She produced, orchestrated and arranged the 2018 Oscar®-winning song. She contributed additional music and co-orchestrated the score, giving the film it’s authentic Mexican sound.

Actually, the music section was already split into into own article not too long ago. It can be found at Coco (soundtrack). Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 05:01, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
