Cinema etiquette

This article is basically a screed against bad behavior in movie theaters, disguised as an article. It draws a conclusion that people bring their children to the movies for educational purposes based on this source that argues almost exactly the opposite: that movies serve to educate our children even when that is not the expectation. All in all, this article serves no encyclopedic purpose. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:19, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. The first draft certainly wasn't up to much, but it seems salvageable as an article in the same context as Concert etiquette - I've pulled up a couple of sources about cinema chains adapting their policy to suit objections about behaviour from patrons. --McGeddon (talk) 18:37, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep It's not hard to find more material such as Debrett. Andrew D. (talk) 18:52, 6 January 2016 (UTC) In the early era of silent screenings, cards were shown before films bearing etiquette announcements such as “Ladies, kindly remove your hats”, “Loud talking or whistling not allowed”, and “Please applaud with hands only”.
 * Keep. Now that the page has been edited and cleaned up it is certainly worth keeping. --Mareshelle (talk) 20:09, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep – Per a review of available sources, this is a notable topic that meets WP:GNG. North America1000 03:54, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn - Article is now significantly different that what was proposed for deletion. It has essentially already undergone the WP:TNT process. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:49, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
