List of films about disability

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

List has absolutely no context, while the inclusion criteria is hopelessly vague. Delete. PC78 23:47, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, are these films about disability or someone with a disability? Useight 00:40, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete One of the worst film lists. There is no "disability" film genre, there is no article called "Films about disability" (or similar). Too broad a topic for a list, so this is a WP:NOT of loosely associated topics. Any list that groups together Forrest Gump and Freaks is ridiculous. Masaruemoto 02:45, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above, and per precedent set by the repeated deletions of List of songs about foo. Resolute 05:40, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep All of the films are notable, but the list is not useful without some explanations about why a film is on there; it's been up here almost a year without any sign that it will be improved. As with the recently deleted List of films with disabled protagonists, I comment that Hollywood generally ignores the disabled, in the sense that persons with any type of disability are not seen at all in most films.  Only a weak keep, because it is no better to fail to mention what the disability is... to all lesser-abled persons into a catch-all of "disabled" is patronizing.  Mandsford 15:48, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The article is just a directory of loosely associated terms, violates WP:NOT. Jay32183 20:09, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete no different than most of the "films about" and suffers from all the ills inherent in such articles: OR, POV, subjectivity, how "about" disability must a film be, etc.... Carlossuarez46 22:57, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

 * delete lists with no clear, objective, notable inclusion criteria. --Scott Davis Talk 14:41, 2 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete because the criteria for a film about disability is incredibly vague. Would 50 First Dates fall on the list, too?  Who knows? —Erik (talk • contrib) - 15:09, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
