List_of_British_comedy_films
"British film" is a subjective term (does it refer to the company, initial release location, writer, director, actors?). That means that the best you can do is list these as comedies, which shouldn't be a list at all because it is too broad. See Articles_for_deletion/List_of_British_comedy_films for a similar debate.

 * Keep, but decide on a definition for "British film", make it clearer, and use it. -Amarkov babble 00:47, 30 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Weak keep if a useful definition can be provided (which it probably can) and those films not lying within it can be removed (which they should therefore be). BigHaz - Schreit mich an 01:48, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Would be unmanageably long/unwieldy list. See [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_British_films for precedent. Bwithh 03:17, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment The demand for a definition of British Comedy films seems specious unless you're demanding every film fall into exactly one country's list. The definition of Comedy is likewise subjective. I would be very surprised if there was much controversy about what films to put in the category. As for deletion, we might nominate List_of_United_States_comedy_films and others while we're at it?  Might be better as a category, there are already categories for YearNNNN films Category:British films Category:Comedy films ... where's that search for mulple categories software at?. --AGoon 03:25, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
