List of cinemas in Thailand

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Per WP:IINFO, WP:SALAT and WP:NOTDIR, this list is not encyclopaedic. Will never meet a reasonable level of completion, and sets precedent for even less manageable lists such as List of cinemas in California. Claritas § 19:21, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't suppose there's a vote called "Rename the article and remove what it was originally about". I think that this would work as a non-list article, based on the content that was added after it started as a directory of cinemas.  Remove the list and rename it.  The best part of this article is the information other than the list, which describes the culture associated with going to the cinema in Thailand.  I'm astounded that the before a film, "the audience must stand for the 'Royal Anthem', which is accompanied by a montage of images of King Bhumibol Adulyadej." but it's sourced  .  Americans are used to standing for the national anthem prior to a sports event, but it's not part of going to a movie.  While I can't see having a list of cinemas for any nation, there is some good stuff here that should be carried over to a different article. Mandsford 23:39, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I can see that there's some encyclopaedic content here too - it might be appropriate to copy it to userspace and then create an article called Cinemas in Thailand based on it. This simply doesn't work as a list, which was why I nominated. Claritas § 11:59, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Why have the intermediate step of copying to userspace rather than simply renaming it (or, as we stupidly call it so that nobody understands what's going on, "moving" it) to that title and allowing the wiki editing process to improve it? Phil Bridger (talk) 22:08, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The problem is that, per Paul, some of the content concerning individual cinemas could also be split. Claritas § 13:17, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge non-list content to Cinema of Thailand and split content about notable chains/cinemas (i.e. almost all, IMO) into their own articles, if they don't exist yet. I agree in principle with Mandsford's above comments. Redirect likely needed for attribution purposes. --Paul_012 (talk) 11:57, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
