List of films featuring blind characters

Delete - Wikipedia is not a repository of loosely-associated topics. That a film has a blind character is nowhere near sufficient to justify this article. Otto4711 02:55, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete Loose association. Could be categorised if required. A list is meant to have some sort meaningful entry data, not just a list of names, otherwise it is merely a category listing.--Dacium 06:24, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Otto4711  superapathy man  06:52, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete this is one of the sillier of the film lists. Hoo hah! JuJube 06:59, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Perhaps if the list was movies about blind characters/blindness or something like that it would be ok, but this is just a pointless group of vaguely related films. Arkyan 18:03, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tumbleweedtumbles (talk • contribs) 18:26, 23 February 2007 (UTC).
 * Delete as a list based on a non-defining characteristic. Semi-trivial might still be OK, but this association is completely trivial.  As noted by Arkyan, a list of movies about blind persons/blindness would be acceptable (though not under this title). -- Black Falcon 20:53, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nomination. Merge as explained below Hoverfish Talk 07:40, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge Society often stereotypes people with disabilities and their use in film is perhaps the easiest examples to study. Arguably this list should be merged with List of films with disabled protagonists. I would also point out that all the entries in this list are articles so this list serves more as an index to Wikipedia.--agr 16:33, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of films with disabled protagonists. Disability in films IS a topic of significance. There is no reason to delete it. Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 18:01, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Are all of the characters on the list "protagonists"? If not, then a merger would be inappropriate (assuming either list survives). Otto4711 22:50, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * See my comment below. Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 00:29, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - per WP:LIST: information and navigation. Featuring blind characters is sufficient commonality. - Peregrine Fisher 02:05, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment actually, there are several lists of this type that might be much better as a merged larger article with information about the disabilities portrayed in each film: List of films about disability, List of films with disabled protagonists, List of films involving amputees, List of films featuring mental illness and List of films featuring blind characters, many of which have been nominated for deletion by Otto4711 and are thus also currently undergoing their own AfD debates at this time.

 * It seems odd, when addressing issues of loose association and indiscrimacy, to try to solve it by casting an even wider, looser and indiscriminate net. Otto4711 20:34, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete or new category Maybe a category would be better for this, not a listing, especially since this one is incomplete and a disaster as far as style is concern--JForget 00:43, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
