These sublists of National Film Registry are pretty useless content forks. The whole point of having sortable lists is that you can sort the whole list, not just a sublist. People will typically be interested in the list of, say, films on the National Film Registry that were released in the 1960s. Nobody is interested in knowing the films on the National Film Registry that were released in the 1960s and whose title begins with a B. Spinning off these sublists (of a featured list no less!) accomplishes nothing. We want to direct our readers to the most likely to be useful article and that is clearly National Film Registry. Furthermore, keeping these lists doubles the work necessary to keep the info up to date. Pichpich (talk) 16:51, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete because the table at National Film Registry is sufficient, and since it is sortable, it strongly indicates that the content should stay together. Furthermore, this is a Featured List, so we know it went through the Featured List Candidate vetting process without this being a concern.

 * Delete Seems to be an un-needed WP:CONTENTFORK split of the main article, which is a featured list.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 17:02, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete them all as an undiscussed split that's worse than useless--it actually makes the information less convenient.&mdash; Chowbok  ☠  00:47, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
