List of films Roger Ebert gave Zero Stars

Even if technically verifiable, this seems a rather trivial point to write an article on. Even being as important a film critic as he is, I feel that having this article may also give undue weight to Ebert's views. Chris the Paleontologist (talk • contribs) 01:18, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete While interesting, not really a topic of lasting importance. Borock (talk) 02:05, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Being considered bad by one particular critic isn't all that notable. It has to be all-time historically awful. "Roger Ebert's list of most hated films" is already cited as one of the "reputable sources" used in compiling the list of films considered the worst. Clarityfiend (talk) 04:56, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - Lends undue weight to the opinions of a single individual. Police Academy?!?! Roger, what were you thinking? Carrite (talk) 16:43, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems like a good idea to turn this into a category. I suggest to move to "Category:Films that Roger Ebert gave Zero Stars" or merge into Roger Ebert. Regards, RomeEonBmbo 16:55, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a trivial list. Either merge to Roger Ebert or delete without prejudice. Ebert is notable enough. --Artene50 (talk) 04:36, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Ebert's most negative reviews have drawn something of a cult following, with three books of reviews with two stars or less. However, this doesn't make "Ebert gave this movie a really bad review" a defining characteristic for a list or category. Why not a list of his four-star reviews, then? This list is a clear case of WP:INTERESTING. szyslak  ( t ) 11:00, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. It's getting Dangerously Close to time to give this puppy Last Rites and call in The Exterminator. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:40, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
