List of Disney animated features' titles in various languages
I somehow doubt this is what Wikipedia tries to be. The list is harmless, looks valid (the Czech names have just one small typo) but it belongs to a fan site, not here. Pavel Vozenilek 02:09, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. Very serious effort and could be useful for people who need this info such as our foreign editors and readers. -- JJay 02:16, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, it is serious effort but do not feel Wikipedia will serve well as translation service. Pavel Vozenilek 02:47, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * List of names of the official languages of the European Union in the official languages respectively, List of country names in various languages (A-C) plus many more in Language comparison category. -- JJay 03:25, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * At least these are serious enough topics. WP is not garbage bin for everything. Pavel Vozenilek 04:42, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Please do not disrespect Disney. It is a very serious subject and not garbage in any way. Disney is much older than the EU, and is possibly more important for many people, particularly our very young readers. -- JJay 04:51, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I would delete those as well. JoaoRicardotalk 18:47, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Sure, why not, let's delete everything and start over. -- JJay 19:46, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I would, but I'm late for the Mickey Mouse Club (non notable group of people with rodent fetishes)- cheers. -- JJay 04:10, 24 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete- I'm going to use the word listcruft in its least pejorative sense because this is a serious effort, but it's just not the sort of thing that belongs here. Reyk 02:57, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I doubt a fansite would be able to keep as complete a list as the one seen here. It seems like the sort of thing that a encyclopedia should contain. It is useful to some and should therefore stay. SorryGuy 04:11, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Try WP:NOT :-) It is not task of Wikipedia to deal with inability of fans to set up and maintain their own pages. Pavel Vozenilek 04:40, 23 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. Unencyclopedic. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Lists should serve as aids in navigation or development, not as providers of stand-alone information. JoaoRicardotalk 04:56, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Listcruft. --Apostrophe 07:48, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I fail to see how this is of any worth to anybody, especially as every single title I checked in there was a literal word-for-word translation, not to mention tht titles like Alladin, Mulan, Peter Pan and Robin Hood. Flyboy Will 09:29, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * So, should we then delete lists such as List of country names in various languages (A-C) since many country names are the same in many languages? -- JJay 12:06, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, my eyes! To me, that's a great example of a list for the sake of a list, where a ton of people contribute for the sake of contributing: "look ma, i done wrote lots of stuff on this here wi-ki-pedia!" The only entires that are encyclopedia-worthy there are, yes, the ones where country names are different in different languages - which is worthy of more than a list entry.

 * Delete. Isn't this what interwiki links are for? I remember voting on a list of translations related to Harry Potter a while back. That would probably make good precedent for this. - Mgm|(talk) 09:36, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep If we're going to have other stupid lists, why not keep a list that has good effort put into it. BlueGoose 10:34, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I wonder if some of the criticism here has to do with an Ameriocentric worldview. To delete this article is just plain bigoted. BlueGoose 10:36, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * What about deleting all the stupid lists? And if by "Ameriocentric" you mean "USA-centric", I must inform you that I was not born in the USA and have never lived there. JoaoRicardotalk 18:47, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Danny 12:12, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. 6000 world languages x at least 100 disney films means this list could be 600,000 lines long. The information should be in the individual film articles maybe, or just use the interwiki links. If anyone really wants to keep the info, move each individual list organised by title to the relevant movie article. If not, still delete -- Astrokey44 |talk 13:08, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * This vote is completely misguided, and shouldn't be counted. Disney only makes a select amount of dubs for each film, what's already represented here. Not all movie are translated into all languages, even, as represented by The Three Caballeros This list only includes the titles of those official dubs. --  user:zanimum
 * The vast majority of these 6000 languages have too few speakers for Disney to bother releasing a dubbed or subtitled version. JoaoRicardotalk 18:47, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep, but I'd personally like to see the second half merged in with their appropriate articles, so they can be of more instant use. --  user:zanimum
 * strong keep if we have other articles of this nature, this one seems just as valid to me... Jcuk 18:13, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Come on, we have interwiki links for this sort of stuff, people.  howch e  ng   {chat} 22:52, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete. Listcruft. And poorly formatted listcruft at that. If someone wants to know what a Dinsey movie's title is in another language, make an article for that Disney movie in an alternate-language Wikipedia and interwiki them. This is just a hot mess. --FuriousFreddy 01:12, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Also, the articles on individual Disney movies should contain the foreign language titles in the intros, as is common practice with other articles (assuming they already don't), and the individual titles should redirect to the movie articles.

 * Delete reluctantly. It is certainly listcruft. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of inforation, not is it a free web host. Stifle 13:07, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete or at best userify. I don't see how this could possibly be kept up to date without a lot of effort and lists of things are not in and of themselves encyclopedic. Arguing that there are other bad lists is not a reason to keep one more. ++Lar 15:23, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
