List of Dominican films

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is just a directory for mostly non-notable films. Armbrust Talk  Contribs  20:29, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. This directory has been around since 2007 and although Armburst may opine that the list consist of "non-notable" films, that is debatable. Also what spurred his decision to delete it was that I made an improvement to it by redirecting the page from List of Dominican Republican films to its current name. I agree that improvements have to be made, yet deleting it seems unreasonable, besides there are far worse pages around. Lastly am obviously willing to edit it, so why turn down improving an article? --El Mayimbe (talk) 20:35, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. If "non-notable" means "not notable enough to have their own articles" then I don't see a problem, because this is one of the things that lists are for. However, if the list contains really marginal items, it has to be purged rather than deleted. I'd suggest establishing some criteria for inclusion, and I've tagged the list with list-cleanup with this in mind. GregorB (talk) 23:51, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep per balance in adressing the unfortunate systemic bias inherent in Wikiedia... specially as notability to the Dominican Republic is fine for en.Wikipedia. And that many do not currently have articles would be more a reason to create such articles and further improve Wikiedia for its readers, than to declare them somehow non-notable in that lack and then decide to delete the list because the encouraged articles have not yet been written.

 * Keep as part of the bigger scheme Category:Lists of films by country of production. Lots of these films seem notable, with a few being screened at film festivals and winning awards at them. Hardly surprising a fair chunk of them don't have articles, considering the number of missing English-language films on WP.  Lugnuts  (talk) 10:37, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
