List of Disney animated heroines

WP is not a collection of indiscriminate lists. Characters are already listed on List of Disney characters - no reason provided to differentiate female heroines/characters vs other characters. "Heroine" not defined, article has turned into a list of all female Disney characters SpikeJones (talk) 23:47, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, list is of little encyclopedic use. J Milburn (talk) 23:54, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Variously violates WP:NOTLINK, WP:IINFO, and (in such portions of entries as "Age" and "Era") WP:OR. But basically violates the requirement of WP:SAL that "lists should begin with a lead section, that presents unambiguous statements of membership criteria," which seems impossible in this case, since "heroine" is an essentially vague concept.

 * Delete. Inclusion criteria is not well defined. No need for this as lists of Disney characters already exist. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 04:49, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete This may have started out with good intentions, but what it turned into was a large biography of Jasmine, Cinderella, Ariel, etc., complete with descriptions of their "family", including other characters in their films. And there is no need to duplicate other articles about Jasmine, Cinderella, Ariel, etc., complete with descriptions of their "family", including other characters in their films.  While it's possible that a good article might be written about the portrayal of women in Disney's films and how it has evolved over time (and there have been books that looked at that aspect), this appears to have been pieced together by people who buy a VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray, etc. everytime the "Disney vault" opens.

 * Delete. I worked for Disney for over 5 years and still follow it whenever I can. I have never heard this collection of characters branded as "Disney heroines" in the same vein as Disney Princess or Disney Fairies. Sounds like whoever created this list was trying to go after something in that vein because "List of Disney animated female characters" would have sounded even more indiscriminate. The little non-cruft information is in this list can and should be captured in the individual character articles where they exist. KuyaBriBri Talk 15:32, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:USERFY back to author User:Lmvp990766271 with the above suggestions that the informations be placed where approprate.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 19:10, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Listcruft, plain and simple (well maybe a small dose of fancruft as well). The list is crafted using no out-of-universe material to attempt to justify why this collection of information as a whole has any encyclopedic value. Indiscriminate and nonnotable.

 * Keep, It needs a little expansion, not deletion. Have a look at List of Disney princes. I suspect a bit of sexism here. =P This article simply needs to be cleaned up and perhaps renamed to List of Disney PrincessesSmallman12q (talk) 23:08, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
 * "Disney Princesses" has a specific meaning, and we already have an article on that. And such characters as Kim Possible, Penny Proud, and Lilo Pelekai are princesses by no stretch of the imagination. Deor (talk) 23:23, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
