Right.. I am absolutely sick and tired of having to argue with people as to why there isn’t allowed to be a list of remaining actors or even a list of major initial actors from the classic period in Hollywood. These lists exist for the ‘New Hollywood’ period but why not for this? And apologies to you as I’m unsure of your name, but to whomever claimed that the list of major actors was too broad, if you knew anything about film or the study of film as I do, as it was my majors degree at university you would know and understand that those notes were the major figures throughout the period mentioned, adjusted to include those of an ethnic background whom at the time were held back from attaining the spotlight. Please actually have a think a think about what you are doing before you choose to delete it. The previous deleted page was up for deletion as it had an unclear date as for the “Golden age of Hollywood”, hence why that phrase has been kept out of this page and discussion completely.

I truly believe it is important for future generations to know the important figures from this period in film history, wether it be for personal knowledge or academic, and I challenge others that think different to explain otherwise.

Thank you and kind regards Bradonwiki :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bradonwiki (talk • contribs) 00:07, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

List of people and films from Classical Hollywood cinema
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

This list has no inclusion criteria (past "major actors" and "other major figures"), and is unsourced. It says that it's a list of "major actors" and "other major people", but deciding whether someone is "major" is often going to be difficult. I think that this list is going to have problems, no matter how well put together it is — if it's small, then its inclusion criteria will be difficult and probably subjective, and if it's large, it gets closer to becoming an indiscriminate list. Right now, it's the former. Tol (talk &#124; contribs) @ 14:56, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - Unsourced and far too broad of a topic for it to ever actually be a manageable list. What's more, is that this list was unanimously decided on deletion less than two months ago before being recreated recently, and all of the arguments for deletion from that discussion still apply.

 * Speedy delete As recreation of recently deleted material with no addressing of the concerns, including my vote at the last AFD. Reywas92Talk 19:47, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete per WP:G4. Same issues as the version that was very recently deleted. Newshunter12 (talk) 20:07, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Has now been tagged as such. Newshunter12 (talk) 20:10, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm usually wary of stretching speedy deletion criteria, and so I try to err on the side of AfD/PROD. As G4 applies only when the recreation is "sufficiently identical", and I don't know how similar this is to the deleted article, I nominated it for AfD instead.
