 * Weak keep The concept seems to have valid references. Although a lot of the article certainly is WP:SYNTH, I don't necessarily agree with it being blatant OR. If the author can clean it up and make it encyclopedic it might merit keeping. § FreeRangeFrog 21:27, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. The Hollywood star system is a well documented phenomenon. The article may need cleaning up, but the subject has been covered by multiple secondary sources: Shocking Representation published by Columbia University Press, Grand Design published by University of California Press, Negotiating Hollywood by University of Minnesota Press, and The 1920's published by Greenwood Publishing. More than adequately meets the general notability guideline.-- xanchester  (t)  00:51, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. This article is not perfect, but the star system certainly existed and has been written about, and there is good and referenced content here.   Morwen - Talk 22:22, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep as a notable topic which has itself been the subject of commentary and analysis in multiple sources. That the article needs some work is a reason to keep it and allow improvements through regular editing, but not to delete it because it is not yet perfect.
