List of high frame rate (HFR) movies

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Delete The list hereof does not have significant coverage nor established acceptance yet in the motion picture industry. It is a fringe technology which is covered in the individual articles of the handful of films listed as well as the articles on High Frame Rate and Frame Rate.

 * Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Articles for deletion/Log/2013 January 17.  Snotbot   t &bull; c &raquo;  01:15, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, this is my first AfD nomination. NickCochrane (talk) 06:47, 17 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Merge to High Frame Rate Delete. I agree that this article is unnecessary, especially since half of it is based on rumors. However, I do think such an article could eventually be created if it becomes more common. Alphius (talk) 05:04, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: Considering only one of these films are out, and that the 6 films represent 3 directors (5 coming from the same 2 directors), shouldn't we just let the article on High Frame Rate include the history as in unfolds in the Motion Picture Industry?

 * Delete The information is already in High frame rate. If HFR becomes common there probably still would not be a need to list films based on just this one aspect.  We don't have a list of "Stereo movies". Steve Dufour (talk) 15:27, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete since so far, just one exists. And I agree with Steve that even if HFR becomes the standard we still won't need a list, just like we don't have lists of widescreen movies, movies in colour or movies with sound. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  16:51, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * By the good graces of the movie gods, it will not become standard. NickCochrane (talk) 17:24, 17 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete As per Nick and Steve. Completely redundant article. Etobgirl (talk) 21:29, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete As per Nick, Steve and Etobgirl. LenaLeonard (talk) 06:04, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete for now because there are not enough actual films to make up a stand-alone list. However, I would not be opposed to recreating this list down the road when there are more films. Erik (talk &#124; contribs) 13:43, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * There would have to be at least 20, or 30 films done this way to warrant that future list. LenaLeonard (talk) 17:27, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't think there have to be that many. It depends on when we start seeing independent lists of HFR films per WP:NOTESAL. We're definitely talking at least a few years' time, though. Erik (talk &#124; contribs) 17:36, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, the trend suggests it may be an industry fad, but no one can really predict that kind of thing. Agreed, too early to have a list now, in a few years we'll see if people are still using this gimmick. LenaLeonard (talk) 18:02, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It seems to me that a list should be made when the number of movies is too big for High Frame Rate. That should be quite a while.  On the other hand if it turns out that sometime in the future most movies will use it then a list would also not be needed, as others have said. Check out Front-wheel drive. There is no "List of front-wheel drive cars."  Steve Dufour (talk) 06:33, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I think one key benefit of having a stand-alone list down the road is that it can link similar films together. I've created a few lists of films featuring similar content like you can see at Panic Room. Each film article in each list has a "See also" section that links back to the list. Having an obvious list provides the value of cross-navigation on Wikipedia. It can answer the question, "What other films with a high frame rate are there?"

 * Convert to category and delete - this is the kind of thing that categories are well-suited for, but as noted, no reason for the list. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:32, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
