Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of top Tollywood films


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result was Delete as unsourvced and possibly PoV. However, I will restore and userfy to anyone who asks and expressesd the intent to source this. A similar list with sources demonstrzting which films actually were top-grossing, and at least sourcing multiple favorable reveiws for "critically aclaimed" films might well be acceptable. Anyone who wants to use this as the basis for that is welcome to do so. DES (talk) 23:29, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

List of top Tollywood films

Possibly violates WP:NOT as being 'original research'; this was the assertion of the editor who nominated this article for speedy deletion using Template:db with the following accompanying reason "serves no real purpose except being a 'list' - nothing more. Most of the content looks like Original Research (no sources)". I bring this here as it is inappropriate to delete under speedy criteria and I express no opinion about its suitability for inclusion in Wikipedia.

 * Delete unless it can be sourced. Or maybe rename to List of Tollywood films? Lugnuts 11:11, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Rename to List of Tollywood films per Lugnuts. Sounds too POV-ish to me currently. FamicomJL 15:52, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as OR. (List of Tollywood films would be perfectly acceptable however.) -- Beloved freak  15:56, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete original research. Also, List of Telugu-language films already exists, so there is no point in renaming it to List of Tollywood films. - Two  Oars  19:16, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Note - I created a redirect from List of Tollywood films to List of Telugu-language films. Also two more articles List of top Tamil-language films and List of top Bollywood films might be of interest here. - Two  Oars  19:50, 3 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep No doubt that this can be sourced, and very quickly at that. The format of the article, which has existed for more than a year, and has had several contributors, is worth copying, in that a brief description is included about these Tamil language films.

 * Sources can be found for top grossing films, but where can we set the line? At what point are films considered top-grossing? And what about the critically acclaimed films? How do we define them? - Two  Oars  19:06, 4 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete unless sourced. Badly-defined POV list at it stands. Stifle (talk) 14:13, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as renamed List of Tollywood films. Mathmo Talk 22:02, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Please note: List of Tollywood films (=List of Telugu-language films) is a different article altogether, which already exists. Present discussion is about List of top Tollywood films. - Two  Oars  04:57, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, unless sourced.Vice regent 14:57, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, at least for now, with the intention of merging with List of Telugu-language films. This article is a more informative list than List of Telugu-language films, but the two lists have very different formats, making merger problematic. Neither article list is appropriately sourced. Improvement is more likely to occur if this article is kept as raw material for a better article; deleting it will only force the contributors to start over again.--orlady 14:09, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete badly sourced. Harlowraman 22:55, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
