Indiscriminate information; this list makes no distinction between sentient objects and things that are possessed by spirits or demons. They are two entirely different concepts. For example, the list draws a comparison between the haunted hotel in The Shining, the super intelligent computers in various science fiction movies, and the cartoon characters in The Brave Little Toaster.

 * Keep This list is incomplete, but it's not listcruft and it's not even close to indiscriminate. As for the charge that the list imparts no information -- it clearly does.  And haunted hotels and talking toasters are in different parts of the list for that exact reason.  Items that are possessed or sentient are not two incompatible concepts.  The point with both is that they are "animated inanimate objects."--JayHenry 22:19, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep I've seen entire books on this concept (for example "Possessed Possessions" by Ed Okonowicz) and it is a recurrent major theme in horror fiction and film. Why would this be listcruft? Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 05:27, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
