 * Keep, Don't see any reason to delete this page, please enlighten me. Only thing I can figure is listing films IN Pittsburgh, the films are famous, they have famous people in them and Pittsburgh is famous is combining those a problem?  I agree we shouldn't be a "phone book" or a site of constant lists but I think a lot of the category pages are worse offenders of just raw lists then a content page that puts a list in context with other data.  Thanks and hope to hear other views on this. Hholt01 07:33, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, I don't see how this fits the stated deletion criteria. This is a discriminate listing of encyclopedic articles connected by a verifiable fact. Needs sourcing, but does not qualify for deletion. --Dhartung | Talk 07:55, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - Not the most significant thing ever, but if it includes famous peoples in a rather famous city, then...sure. ;-) Cheers,  R ∞  R   [ iTalk  ]  14:03, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete however no opposition to making these two categories instead. /Blaxthos 16:39, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment It would be inappropriate to give films categories based on where they were filmed. Some films would have many such categories. A list is better for this reason. --Dhartung | Talk 23:45, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'm sorry for the extremely weak nomination reason (and the AfD could be closed per Dhartung), but this (Blaxthos' comment) is exactly what I had in mind: we don't need a list page for this, a category suffices. --Tinctorius 21:33, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is a worthwhile list, and list pages are preferable to categories anyway. --Chris Griswold (  ☎  ☓  ) 22:32, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep (again)- I agree with ChrisGriswold, it may be personal bias but I much prefer a list page to a category page, category pages have their place but it is like a maze of different data hitting you, without much context or priority at all. I would be all for improving adding more data to each list item but IMHO a list like this serves important data purposes.  Hholt01 22:15, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
