List of action film clichés
Previously nominated, but kept. Issues of original research have never been addressed, and the article doesn't cite any sources besides the films themselves. List of film clichés by genre has been deleted, so per that precedent I'm renominating this one. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 15:56, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I believe this is the wrong place for this. You want to go to Deletion Review if you have any procedural problems with the AfD. Otherwise, I believe there is a six month mortatorium on repeat AfDs? PT  ( s-s-s-s ) 17:30, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * To quote deletion policy: "there is no strict policy or consensus for a specific time between nominations," and it has been several months since the last nom. There has also been a new precedent set in the mean time, and I feel this article should be considered in light of that.  Deletion review is to restore deleted articles or dispute an admin's ruling on an AFD, not delete kept articles months after a proper afd. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 18:01, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I can understand the re-nomination due to the new precedent. But I also want to point out it's only been TWO months since nomination, not "several." I'm not voting, just asking questions. PT  ( s-s-s-s ) 18:09, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete The article is all original research and has no WP:V to be found. While funny, should be deleted. Th ε Halo Θ 19:18, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:OR. I also like to suggest the same for:
 * List of science fiction clichés
 * On-screen clichés
 * List of horror movie clichés
 * List of drama movie clichés
 * if they can't be sourced, and maybe some of the other stuff lists included in List of cliché lists. -- Koffieyahoo 02:09, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Why do I think it could not be not simply edited? Such editing would only be a viable option if changes to the article could only be made by (for example) a specific administrator. What I'm trying to say here is, the article is virtually unreadable. I believe that it is garbage and will remain garbage if something drastic is not done "NOW".

 * Delete or edit mercilessly to remove all uncited ones (and by uncited I mean any entry which does not have a reliable source stating that it is a cliche). Just zis Guy you know? 10:27, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Strongest possible delete. These "list of cliches" articles are all opinion, no sources. Someone else has to say that these are cliches, Wikipedia cannot say it. The article's fundamental concept is based on an original research assumption, and encourages other editors to freely add their opinions to the ever-growing list, like a parlor game. wikipediatrix 16:06, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Strongest possible delete. I'd point out the bias and unverifiability of the article. I concur that even with examples given, this is still original research and very UNWikipedian IMHO. And I also agree that this article will grow and change like LISTeria if it is allowed to stay. But I don't feel the need to explain these views, as I expect most actual Wikipedians will share and explain them far more elaborately than I could. HOWEVER, I WILL point out that the grammar throughout the article is (IMO!) disgusting, or at least.... If it's written in my language and dialect, it is intolerable and should be deleted ASAP.
 * Keep. -- Riki 11:46, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
