The result was   keep. The list distinguishes itself as fundamentally different than Lists of French films. The discussion over what entries should be included is not a decision to be made in an AfD (or grounds for deletion). Lists when too large can be broken down into sub-articles by year such as Lists of French films. (non-admin closure) Mkdw talk 07:13, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

List of French-language films

Redundant with Lists of French films. Professorjohnas (talk) 10:32, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep The nominator is mistaken. Not all French-language films are French films, and vice-versa. Some Canadian films, for example are in the French language, but are clearly not French films. The same for many African films (like this one, for example).  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 10:53, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per Lugnuts and my comment here. Lukeno94 (talk) 17:40, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per Lugnuts's argument. One of this year's Best Picture nominees at the Oscars is Amour, a French-language film that was Austria's submission for foreign-language film. Erik (talk &#124; contribs) 20:46, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete as having overly broad scope and being ill defined. What is a French-language film? Is Rush Hour (1998 film) dubbed in French a French-language film? If not, then what is the difference between a French-language film and a French film? --  Toshio   Yamaguchi  20:52, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The vast majority of films have a primary language. You bring up an interesting point about dubbing, but I would argue that it should be the original language. Erik (talk &#124; contribs) 20:55, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep French is the language of multiple countries, as pointed out by Lugnuts. Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 23:29, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
