List of French language films

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I don't see the point of this article when Category:French-language films already exists. Additionally, the list isn't even close to comprehensive judging by the number of articles in the aforementioned category. sdornan (talk) 16:02, 22 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep – it is surprising that the nominator has not noticed that the list has information not included in the category – year, English title and director – and that the list is sortable. Deleting the list is a bizarre way to make it more comprehensive. Occuli (talk) 17:51, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Per WP:CLN Lists and categories go hand-in-hand. This list has a clear-defined inclusion criteria for a notable topic.  Lugnuts  (talk) 17:56, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Occuli, Lugnuts and WP:CLN. Lists and categories aren't mutually exclusive. As can be clearly seen by this article, lists can contain much more info than categories. This list is in pretty good shape, although needs more references and is far from complete. Luckily, comprehensiveness is not required of list articles in order for them to exist.-- Beloved Freak  19:47, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep (or Conservez). The sortable table makes this more useful than a category, although the nominateur does have a point in being concerned about the extent to which such a list would grow.  Mandsford 01:46, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:CLN. Categories and lists are not mutually exclusive, but rather mutually supportive... with a list offering more to the reader (specially this one, as it is sortable) than a simple category. This list has a clearly defined inclusion criteria for a notable topic.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 05:32, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
