Resident Evil (film series)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Article is redundant, everything is already covered by the films' separate articles. When created, content was simply copy and pasted from the existing articles (e.g. the Romero script section). If there's any info about the series that is only in that article, it can be put into the Resident Evil article in the Film section. Geoff B (talk) 17:41, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep With four movies, I think that qualifies for its own article for the series. The article may be somewhat redundant, but it saves people from reading all four articles to get the info. I also think there is worthwhile info on this page that should not be deleted or redirected. Angryapathy (talk) 19:03, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep All franchises have an article page, from Transformers to Spider-Man. They are an easier way of navigating through the franchise information without going through every article, as Angryapathy said above. Usernamemehr (talk) 22:44, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep The Resident Evil article is already quite long and the Resident_Evil section contains material unrelated to the Resident Evil (film series). This article fulfils a function, and any inadequacies in its content can be addressed by editing.--Utinomen (talk) 23:14, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Per Utinomen, Angryapathy, Usernamemehr. Millahnna (talk) 03:42, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per others. The best way to think of a film series article is as an overview article with certain information aggregated in one place. The films are quickly summarized, and related elements such as recurring cast members or the franchise's box office are available. Erik (talk &#124; contribs) 23:23, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per others. All make good points. A major series like this deserves its own summary article for quick reference to avoid plowing through the other articles.Jkolak (talk) 12:29, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per others. It's a big franchise and the upcoming release doesn't appear to be likely to be the last.Soupy sautoy (talk) 22:08, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
