List of films receiving the three main Golden Globe Awards per category

Basically listcruft. Do we really need articles that consist of lists of three items? There are more movies listed in this article under the subheading that they don't meet the list criteria than do. eaolson 03:32, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. "Basically listcruft" - Amen. Shalom Hello 05:42, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete arbitrary selection --Tellerman
 * Delete Arbitrary indeed, and indiscriminate. Too many possible permutations for articles on that theme possible that I won't even try. Ohconfucius 08:00, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Dear me, listcruft at its finest. Pedro | Chat  14:41, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. It would be nice, however, if these were noted in the article on the Golden Globe awards as some of the biggests winners in the history of the award. -MrFizyx 18:36, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete subjective; what about List of films receiving one or two main Golden Globe Awards per category and receiving the missing one or two at the Academy Awards or Horses that have won a triple crown race and have placed or showed at another etc.... Carlossuarez46 21:08, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - or move to one of the two lists mentioned in the comment above mine. - eo 22:47, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete So THAT's what listcruft means. "List of films that won the Golden Globe Awards for Best Picture, Actor and Actress in the either of the two main categories: Drama or Musical/Comedy"  Since that bit of tomorrow's water cooler chat was limited to three films, they had to beef it up with five more that "almost" made it.

 * Delete; and NWill, the creator of this classic is on a roll creating many more pointless lists. Take a look at Special:Contributions/NWill, for example List of films receiving six or more BAFTA Film Awards; List of films receiving ten or more BAFTA Film Award nominations; List of film actors receiving two or more Screen Actors Guild Awards; List of film actors receiving four or more Screen Actors Guild Award nominations; List of films receiving three or more acting Golden Globe Award nominations, List of films receiving two or more acting Golden Globe Awards, etc, etc, and more... I'd AFD them but I don't have the energy right now. Masaruemoto 02:33, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Each of those should be judged independently, although the titles alone... "ten or more", "two or more", etc. pretty well tell us what to expect. I think it was George Bernard Shaw who said, "I don't need to eat a whole egg to know that it's rotten." Mandsford 12:21, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete because Wikipedia is not statistics. Mentioning what film got the most nominations and/or awards at an award show is notable and should be mentioned at the award show's (yearly) article.  However, editors should not resort to personally conceived categories -- the possibilities are endless if that becomes the case, as others have cited above. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 17:12, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
