300 crore club

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Arbitrary milestone. Aside from media outlets casually calling films that gross ₹300 crore (3 billion rupees) members of the "300 crore club", I don't see any in-depth consideration of this subject as an established topic. It's jargony and neologistic, and I don't see that it belongs here. If the goal is to eventually list films that have grossed 300 crore rupees, then List of films that have grossed 300 crore rupees or more would be a better fit, since we shouldn't be legitimising the idea that there is an actual "club". There is no club. It's an expression. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:23, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete: List of highest-grossing Indian films is sufficient and people can sort numbers there and can make any "nnn crore club". And please dont redirect it either as its not a popular jargon. To me, it can also mean List of Indian people by net worth. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 05:15, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination and per Dharmadhyaksha. This, along with 100 Crore Club and 1000 Crore Club, are just long, verbose, jargony page-forks of List of highest-grossing Indian films, reflecting the Indian press' slightly breathless obsession with films' earnings (domestic and international). Oddly, the lead section of the 100 club article says that the figures are nett, while the 1000 club one says they're gross. I haven't bothered to check the figures: truly, life is too short. This new article says it's using nett. Keeping all four articles accurate, particularly during any given film's first few weeks of release when the fans and marketing people are at their busiest, burns a lot of editors' time. The pattern is "first film X reached the threshold, and newspaper Y commented on it, and then film Z reached the arbitrary threshold, although film Z had higher earnings by another measure", followed by a list of when the films reached the arbitrary threshold. It's gossipy and unencylopaedic. Delete all three. If an encyclopaedia really needs to list nett (which can be difficult to verify) as well as gross for the films of one country, then add a second column to List of highest-grossing Indian films.

 * I agree with for deletion of all nnnn Crore Club articles for their gossipy and unencylopaedic nature. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:58, 3 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete - industry jargon not notable or differentiated enough from 100 and 1000 crore topics on its own. I would also recommend redirecting the latter to the former, which seems to have been the first "club" of the sort - if we're going to keep any of them. Don't see enough merit to keep a redirect unless we're going to create redirects for the whole lot: 200, 300, 400...  Daß &thinsp;  Wölf  11:58, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
