List of notable German movies

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

WP:OR-based list with vague and subjective inclusion criteria; "critically acclaimed, commercially successful or otherwise notable." How commercially successful should a film be to get added to the list? What does "otherwise notable" mean? Original research is needed to decide. Also redundant to List of German films, List of West German films, and List of East German films. Masaruemoto 00:27, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete Category:German films is adequate enough. Afterall, the films in that category must already be notable enough to exist here. Spellcast 01:50, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. As stated above, the category is sufficient. JodyByak, yak, yak 02:27, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Redundant. The article's reference can be merged to List of German films if it is found verifiable.-- Lenticel ( talk ) 02:53, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete we have plenty of categories and lists to cover this area. This one isn't necessary, and besides to be included a film has to be "critically acclaimed, commercially successful or otherwise notable". Hut 8.5 15:05, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per JodyB and Spellcast.--JForget 23:52, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT. The vague inclusion guidelines with no definite cutoffs, and especially "Otherwise Notable" indicates that there is not strong criteria for inclusion, and the list can be considered quite indiscriminate. However, if the list is cleaned up, with some guidelines, it could be a valid article. --Nenyedi Talk Deeds@ 01:08, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. The nature of the list requires POV judgement calls for inclusion, as opposed to having a firm criteria such as award wins and as it currently stands none of this is indicated. Any German film could be listed here if someone made a strong enough case. 23skidoo 15:56, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
