List of films featuring clay animation

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable criteiron. Most of these aren't even films but rather TV shorts or shows. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 02:48, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
 * CommentWere they recorded on motion picture film via stop-motion animation? Then they are clearly "films." If they were originally recorded on videotape or on a computer, then they would not be, unless later converted to motion picture film. A film which was made for broadcast on TV is still a film, even if short. What is the distinction between a notable and a nonnotable criterion? Edison (talk) 03:56, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
 * This list can never be complete, anyway, and serves little purpose, I agree with that. However, WP:NOTPAPER, so it doesn't hurt to keep it. If a such list were included in a "proper" article, I'd suggest removing it to its own page, as is the case, here. This goes for many other lists-in-articles, too... --Janke | Talk 05:03, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep claymation is a specific genre, there are plenty of notable an verifiable films here, and more than half of these entries seem to be themselves notable films. Trimming and sourcing may be in order, but there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the list such that deletion is a reasonable option. Jclemens (talk) 18:39, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep could use a better name -- not sure if all of these are clay animation vs. other types of stop motion or film vs. video -- but we can deal with that without deleting. Rangoondispenser (talk) 17:56, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
