List of 2009 box office number-one films in Argentina

 * – ( View AfD View log )

There are no sources listed and none found to verify the authenticity or accuracy of this list. It was deprodded with claims of notability and because similar lists exist, yet lists like this aren't subject to notability but they are subject to verifiability.

 * Delete - I searched for any sources (in an attempt to save the article) out there and came up fruitless. If there are no sources to be found, then it probably is not reliable as encyclopedic content. Dusty777 (talk) 02:00, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I've added a note on the Film Project talkpage for any help with this.  Lugnuts  (talk) 18:26, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: Looks like the content came from Box Office Mojo. I'm not familiar with lists, but I think that a list like this for the United States is notable because there's often explanatory text for every weekend. I don't think that there is such text for this topic in a country like Argentina, and it seems more like unencyclopedic statistics. However, the United States lists are lacking explanatory text in the Wikipedia lists themselves, and such text should be added to show that these lists are warranted for that country.

 * May be worth looking at WP:LISTN and WP:SALAT. Erik (talk &#124; contribs) 19:00, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Temporary Keep – This list can easily be sourced through mojo so I suggest we add the source and close this particular discussion. That said I think we need to discuss this family of articles, because I'm not sure if there is much encyclopedic value in such lists.  One possibililty would be to take a more structured approach and have an article on "national cinema" for each year, and merge articles such as this one with List of Argentine films of 2009, along with a top 10 annual box office chart etc. Betty Logan (talk) 18:58, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete - "a list of films which have placed number one at the weekend box office" - I just don't see the encyclopaedic value in this - why just the weekend? Why not the whole week? Indeed, each of the dates happen to be Sundays? If this was a list of the highest grossing films in 2009 (and for all I know such a list may exist) then that would have some point. As it is, it is just insubstantial fluff. TerriersFan (talk) 23:44, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
