List of movies whose title is eponymous with a character in it
This is just extreme trivia. Whilst a small amount of trivia is interesting I really don't see how this list could be of any use to anybody. Would someone decide to watch a film based on the criterion "title is eponymous with a character in it"? I'd say not. chowells 16:59, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Trivia, not encyclopedic. Average Earthman 18:03, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - it might have been useful but for "Movies whose title merely contains the name of character have been omitted"... and yet for some reason "Ben-Hur" and "Zoolander" still appear on this list!!! --MacRusgail 18:53, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: Pointless trivia. --Ritchy 18:54, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Listcruft. -- Rune Welsh | &tau;&alpha;&lambda;&kappa; | Esperanza  20:43, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete self-contradictory article: "Here is a list of movies whose title is eponymous with a character who is in them. Note: Movies whose title merely contains the name of character have been omitted." --Metropolitan90 00:12, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's contradictory. I assume that what this means is that the list is intended to include movies whose title consists solely of the name of the character (e.g. the 1922 movie "Robin Hood" starring Douglas Fairbanks) but not movies whose titles include other words as well (e.g. the 1938 movie "The Adventures of Robin Hood" starring Errol Flynn, or "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" starring Kevin Costner).

 * Your interpretation of the Note appears to be correct. Nevertheless, my vote remains the same per all other delete votes above. --Metropolitan90 02:08, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
 * And my vote is the same as yours. Dpbsmith (talk) 22:05, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as completely idiosyncratic non-topic. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:56, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - this is an interesting and worthwhile list. LeonWhite 04:16, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - Indeed, interesting article. -- Kilo-Lima 15:11, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, more listcruft. MCB 20:34, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Pointless list. Many, many movies are named for a character in the movie. This same contributor has two other similarly pointless lists also up for AFD: List of music acts whose names contain an adverb and List of movies whose title contains a fraction or non-integer. &spades;DanMS 04:53, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per all the above delete votes. Per DanMS above, contributor appears to be either violating WP:POINT or following a really really different vector in thinking.  Barno 18:28, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep very interesting list, no reason to delete.  Grue   18:30, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
