Female protagonists in Disney animated films

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Page has not been improved upon since this page's last afd in 2005. In some cases, those listed on the page fall under WP:OR as they are not protagonists but secondary characters. Where is the matching Male protagonists in Disney animated films page? WP:NOT an arbitrary collection of lists... and this page is only linked to from one other place on WP, so its overall importance is questionable in that regard as well.

 * Delete This seems have the purpose of putting information together to make a point. Interesting but not what an encyclopedia is all about. If someone wants to write an article on women in Disney they have to do the research themselves, and then publish it outside WP. Redddogg (talk) 05:41, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm having trouble seeing the point of this list (where many of the entries are hardly "protagonists", e.g. Maid Marion in Robin Hood). That films have important female characters is hardly a distinguishing factor... I'm having a hard time thinking of a film without one. Sjakkalle (Check!)  10:46, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:LC items 2, 4, 8, 9, and 10. Stifle (talk) 10:54, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as blatant listcruft. Eddie.willers (talk) 12:01, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: While I am not in favor of keeping this article as is, this can be a workable topic. See this book that could be used in a prose article and not just a roll call of fictional characters. — Erik  (talk • contrib) - 18:18, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - IMHO, this case perfect meets point no 1 of Listcruft. Andrew 18  @  20:20, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete ...um, many of the characters on the list are in fact antagonists. :/ There could be an article here, as Erik says, but this ain't it. JuJube (talk) 04:05, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename, if the title of the article could use a better name then deletion is not the solution. It looks like a list of female Disney heroes and villains. If some entries don't belong on the list they can be taken off. If you want a matching Male protagonists in Disney animated films you should create one. Alot of these characters appear to have articles so I think a list is fine. The book Good Girls and Wicked Witches: Women in Disney's Feature Animation by Amy Davis that Erik brought up would be a good source in this article. --Pixelface (talk) 08:41, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and work on a little; probably retitle per Pixelface. . An appropriate list, and Erik's ref is enough to refute those who think, however incorrectly, that there has to be a work specifically on the topic of the list itself. DGG (talk) 02:10, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. If someone wants to create an actual article about this topic, he's free to. But this is just a pretty pointless list, and I don't see any use in it. --Conti|✉ 12:38, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as wholly unreferenced, also concurring with the nomination rationale. —   pd_THOR  undefined | 14:56, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
