 * Keep This article does not contain advertising copy, prices, or locations on where to buy the products. The article is used for informational and educational purposes only; helping people become aware of films that are connected by genre, studio, or filmmaker and can only help to promote the film community at Wikipedia. Similarly themed articles in content and style have existed on Wikipedia for years; see: Midnite Movies, Dragon Dynasty, The Criterion Collection, 20th Century Fox Cinema Classics Collection. Wikipedia can have product pages if they are used for the aforementioned reasons; see: Proactiv Solution, Heinz Tomato Ketchup, Ibanez AW Series. If this article were to be deleted based on the proposed reasoning, then thousands of Wikipedia articles would have to be deleted for the very same reason.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * weak delete. I'd lean to keep if it were clearly marked as a list with clear inclusion criteria and sourcing. At the very least the article must clearly state the market where "distributed by Title Company" holds true (you may be surprised to know just how many businesses have legitimate rights to distribute these films). But then there's no need to split the list of Universal (or anyone else's) titles into a bunch of very small lists. The "collection" itself has no more encyclopedic value than the 1999 Armani Underpants Leftover. East of Borschov 10:02, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * See List of Criterion Collection DVD and Blu-ray releases, it's a good model. East of Borschov 10:04, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. The question is whether this collection is notable as a collection (not whether the individual titles are notable -- they are) to anyone outside the Universal home video marketing department. By contrast, The Criterion Collection is notable as a collection as seen from its Google News hits. This collection isn't. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 14:38, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
