Status unknown
The following movies seem to have notability, however, their release status is unknown as the supporting articles show in-production or trailers. They can best be addressed with reliable sources that point to official releases and reviews. They may be moved to the in-progress/abandoned film list, in that case, please strike them from this list.

Discussion
I've grouped the films that still need help here. Please discuss or take action. Thanks. -AngusWOOF (talk) 21:02, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
Should direct-to-video films be included in the main list as long as they have notability? -AngusWOOF (talk) 21:05, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
- When the RfC closes, we'll have consensus on whether non-notable films (those without an article) should be included. Other selection criteria have no basis in guidelines or policy, and I think a merge is in order. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 08:29, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
- What consensus? Where's the discussion at all? Pessimist2006 (talk) 03:54, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
- The discussion has been archived, however it was not merely for films which are redlinked, a previous discussion had already established a policy based consensus that having a Wikipedia article does not denote lack of notability in of itself, nor should be a criteria. The most recent consensus was that entries "that are redlinked and have only IMDB as a link (no refs)" should be removed. The second part was part of the previous discussion as well, but the entries were left on the page for the time being so references could be found iirc. Quite some time has passed since then, so removing those only supported by IMDB (or similar), to the talk page seems reasonable.Number36 (talk) 04:55, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Redlinked zombie films
Here are the zombie films that have no article:

Feel free to edit this post as you see fit. Remove the entry from this list when you add a film back to the main list. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:20, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
- In light of the point I made in the section above, why have redlinked pages with WP:RS references been removed? The consensus reached on the page regarding this point was that whether a page is redlinked is not a criteria in and of itself (see archive 1), and the outcome of the most recent consensus (archive 3) concerned entries "that are redlinked and have only IMDB as a link (no refs)".Number36 (talk) 06:16, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
NinjaRobotPirate, any thoughts on this? I'm getting recent edits to restore these redlinks. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:57, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
- A couple of them look like they have the potential to be notable. I could look into creating articles on them, which might stem the edit warring from the IP editor. Unfortunately, I can't really do much about it in an administrative capacity, since I've heavily edited this article. If it continues, we could try requesting page protection at WP:RFPP.

Daylights End 2016
Daylights End 2016 is one not on the Zombie movie list — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.37.62.69 (talk) 22:34, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you, added. --ZombieZombi (talk) 19:25, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
Source quality
A lot of sources in this article are fine, but on going through it, a good chunk are using IMDb as a source, which we do not user per WP:RS/IMDb. These should be gone through and replaced if possible.Andrzejbanas (talk) 18:25, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
- I'll go through it and try to fix it later. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:21, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- I think I got them all. I removed a few unsourced entries that were too difficult to source. I also removed some redlinked films because we had an RFC a while ago that said redlinked films generally shouldn't be added to this list. It shouldn't be too difficult to create articles for the ones that remain. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:00, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- Awesome! Great job. Andrzejbanas (talk) 15:37, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- Anger of the Dead was easy, but I had trouble sourcing a premiere, which I think probably happened in Italy. I see a few reviews for Daylight's End and might be able to cobble together enough sources to prove notability for that, too. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:02, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
