Wikipedia discussion: Is the movie to illustrate an article about porn by the movie itself?

This is customary for films that are in the public domain.

There was an interesting discussion among editors of Wikipedia about how to place multimedia material in an article about the movie “Debbie Conquers Dallas” of 1978 - the classic hardcore porn with Bambi Woods in the lead role.

The film is now in the public domain. In such cases, it is customary in Wikipedia to embed an embedded frame in the text of the article, which launches the video by click with the full-length version of the film, see the articles about the films The Night of the Living Dead (1968) or The Stupid Wives (1922).

But some editors believe that it would be more appropriate not to embed a frame, but insert only a link to the video.

Now there is a discussion on the site, everyone can express their opinion. Supporters of publishing a full-length video put forward arguments: for example, in an article about the first American pornographic film of 1915 (shot back in the silent film era), his full-length video version has been published for many years. Relevant Wikipedia articles include, for example, erotic paintings, Nazi flags, detailed illustrations of BDSM and illustrations of sexual acts.

At the same time , Wikipedia's rules for publishing materials that may be offensive recommend publishing such materials "only if their absence makes the article less informative, relevant or accurate."

Editors are urged to step back from the video content and evaluate the material for relevance and information content - to evaluate it objectively and in accordance with the rules.

By the way, Bambi Woods, which gained a wild popularity, never appeared on the screens again. In the documentary Debbie Does Dallas Uncovered , it is said that her disappearance caused a lot of rumors about her connections to the mafia and problems with the FBI. Debbie herself said in a television interview that she acted on the recommendation of a friend just to pay off financial debts to that friend.

PS So far, most editors favor publishing a link to an external resource with a video, rather than the movie itself in the text of the article.
