 * This page is insignificant and alienates interracial relationship, I think it should be deleted. Jason foren daniel (talk) 14:48, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. A list article comprised of Wikipedia articles about films that have met criteria for inclusion. Some individuals might be offended by the movies, but they are not obliged to read Wikipedia any more than they are obliged to watch the films. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:21, 4 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep The nomination doesn't contain any sensible reason to delete - it's just opinion contrary to policy. And the person expressing the opinion didn't even make the nomination which was "procedural".  The correct procedure here is detailed at WP:BEFORE.  If one looks for sources, per WP:LISTN, one immediately finds book-length coverage of the topic such as Romance and the "Yellow Peril": Race, Sex, and Discursive Strategies in Hollywood Fiction.

 * Comment The nomination rationale is ridiculous, but let's go a level deeper. No criteria for inclusion are described in the article, so we have to go with the title as the complete list of inclusion criteria. That leaves the inclusion criteria unacceptably broad, and questions abound -- does the "interracial romance" have to be between the film's main characters? If two characters discuss interracial romance, is that enough for inclusion? And what to make of the link farm at the bottom of the article? I'm not sure this can't be an acceptable list, it seems like an area people could reasonably be interested in learning more about, but in its current format this article needs serious work.
