Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies filmography (miscellaneous)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

While the base Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies filmography is split up into narrower sublists by decade rather than being handled entirely in the parent list, Wikipedia does not have a practice of supplementing easily defined sublist groupings with a "miscellaneous" sublist to chunk out the stragglers that don't fit any of the other sublists. Any "miscellaneous" WB animated films that can't be chunked out into one of the sublists that already existed should simply be listed in the parent list itself, rather than getting spun off into their own standalone "miscellaneous" list. And furthermore, it isn't even entirely clear that all or even most of these were genuinely "Looney Tunes" or "Merrie Melodies" films in the first place — an animated short film isn't automatically Looney Tunes just because it came from Warner Brothers, as witness the "Following is list of various shorts that generally don't fit elsewere as they don't feature any characters from Looney Tunes" disclaimer in this page.

 * Comment: No, these films are not Merry Melodies or Looney Tunes shorts, if anyhting these are all the other films Warner Bros Cartoon Inc produced between 1930s-1960s, Looney Tunes And Merrie Melodies: A Complete Illustrated Guide To The Warner Bros. Cartoons as Jerry Beck states in his old book Looney Tunes And Merrie Melodies: A Complete Illustrated Guide To The Warner Bros. Cartoons on page 376 No folks, that's not all During it's sixty-year existence, in additon to its theatrical shorts, the Warner Bros, cartoon studio at various times became involved with other projects—for Warners and others—which clearly fall outside any standard categories. Although the book then does poor job of seperating these other projects form projects that actually still used the characters from Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies. Its more correct to seperate these things form the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies for obvious reasons, with that said the article's name is misleading since none of them don't have anything to do with Looney Tunes or Merrie Melodies, so more correct title would actually be List of Warner Bros Cartoons productions/filmography and move the article there.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Is a rename sufficient to address the issues here?
