List of film institutes

This has no clear LISTCRIT and doesn't seem to be serving any purpose not met by List of film schools. Paul &#10092;talk&#10093; 16:56, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect to list of film schools since "institutes" and "schools" seem generally interchangeable here. Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 17:11, 5 January 2021 (UTC) Struck out per 's comment below. Was not familiar with the distinction.

 * Comment. It seems to be based solely on whether it has "institute" in the name. Our category system has Category:Film organizations as the broadest grouping, with some subcategories by type (film schools, film preservation organizations, etc.), but nothing for "institutes". postdlf (talk) 18:42, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm not sure which way to go with this at the moment. Except to say that redirecting to list of film schools probably wouldn't work because not all the organizations in the list are schools. For instance, the Australian Film Institute is not a school. Although it does run one, but that's not it's main purpose or the sole thing it does as an organization. So, it would be wrong IMO to have it in a list of film schools. --Adamant1 (talk) 06:40, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep And resolve the nom's issue somewhere else. NavjotSR (talk) 15:59, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * This is only AfD. Wider issue needs to be resolved in appropriate noticeboard. NavjotSR (talk) 16:01, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that not having a coherent subject is a resolvable issue, or if there is such a noticeboard for that. --Paul &#10092;talk&#10093; 18:06, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep as a valid blue linked list, there is a distinction between film schools and film institutes. Any of the institutes that are primarily film schools can be moved to that list, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:23, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: Article meets WP:CLN WP:AOAL for keeping a list  // Timothy ::  talk  02:36, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep per the prior-discussed distinction between film schools and film institutes. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 17:17, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
