The plot for this movie is much more intricate than displayed here. Several major characters are not even mentioned in the plot summary. Someone who knows the plot well, please update.
Music by?

IMO this article ought to mention the composer(s) and lyricist(s) of the songs in the musical. If someone has the knowledge, I for one would appreciate an update of this article. Wempain03:14, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Such information should be (and is) in the article about the musical, Fame (musical). This is about the film and should not be overloaded with details about the musical or the TV shows. Otto471105:12, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Wrong factual information about 'Fame' high schools - here is the correction
Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
The film follows a group of students through their studies at the New York High School of Performing Arts (which later merged with the High School of Music and Art to become the Fiorello H. La Guardia High School of Music and Art and Performing Arts). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.237.19.52 (talk) 20:11, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

This Review is on hold until the possible issues found on Earwig's Copyvio Detector are discussed etc. There is a 75% score with afi.com/members/catalog/DetailView.aspxs=&Movie=56407 the AFI article and a 90% score with alanparker.com/film/fame/making. Usually in these cases it is a matter of the other source mirroring WP or of an abundance of quotes appearing within the WP article. I am casting no aspersions here, just that this needs to be discussed on this Review page before I can proceed. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 17:15, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
I am going to do some more proofreading-readthroughs to catch any possible issues I might have missed. Pending any new problems, I should be able to finish up this Review within the next few days. Shearonink (talk) 21:41, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
The timeline of the original movie and its subsequent projects is nicely laid-out and easy to understand. Going forward the only change I would think about would be to go through and adjust possible puffery words - for instance that Cara was propelled to "musical stardom" by the film, etc. Shearonink (talk) 22:11, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Let's not have that soudtrack cover in this article. WP:FILMMUSIC: "WikiProject Film consensus is against having cover images in the album infoboxes in the film article". This is a sound and enforceable interpretation of WP:NFCC. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 22:53, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
The confusing ownership of the franchise from WB and MGM.

You know, I find it oddly fascinating about the whole Fame franchise. Warner Bros. owns the rights to the 1980 film under Turner Entertainment, yet Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer still has the rights to the rest of the franchise. This is another one of the reasons why Warner Bros. should've considered purchasing MGM instead of merging with Discovery. FlapjackRulez (talk) 00:02, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
WP:NOTFORUM Please take casual discussion outside of Wikipedia. There's also the WP:RD if you want to talk about topics in a casual manner. Though I will say that according to WP:RS, Warner only owns the pre-1986 library, so they don't have access to the later films. CartoonnewsCP (talk) 00:00, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
