Fails WP:CLS for list articles, i.e. an overly broad list (since virtually every film ever made has a tagline of some kind!). Indiscriminate collection of what is essentially trivia, somewhat interesting but no real point being made since movie taglines are not (by themselves) notable and fail standards for proper verifiability. --Stratadrake 12:47, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all - Ugh, looks like a lot of work went into this, but it really does fall into the "indiscriminate trivia" rationale. I was going to suggest that an entry into the infobox might work, but it seems that idea isn't that welcome either, per their talk page regarding possible long/multiple tag lines .

 * Delete per Tarc. As mentioned, these are all just advertising ploys. Interesting, true, but interesting doesn't necessarily make the entries encyclopedic. While there are a few taglines which got a lot of attention and are attributable to this day (such as "In space, no one can hear you scream."), most of these are forgettable, non-notable slogans that have little to do with the movie. It's a shame because a lot of work clearly went into this. Cheers, Lanky ( YELL ) 14:04, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all - while a properly sourced article on taglines and other marketing techniques for films would no doubt be fascinating, these lists of loosely associated topics are not. Delete these directories. Otto4711 14:45, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all per nom. Yowza.  Indiscriminate up the wazoo. JuJube 18:10, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I consider this a fairly good index to many of the WP film articles; the tag lines serve a a quick summary/reminder of the content. Individually, they're not notable, but neither are film titles--the films are what is notable. Lists of films are appropriate. DGG' 04:23, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as trivia.  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  10:41, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm fine with deleting all of this, but maybe Wikiquote might want it? Just a thought. -- Ned Scott 01:13, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
