 * Delete per nom.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 16:27, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Draftify per talkpage in preference to WP:TNT. This looks like another problematic WikiEdu article. In this case, there appear to be two or three possible notable articles in the space, and most likely some useful parts in the current article if or other interested editors are willing to save the article one way or another. If not, then there's always the possibility of a WP:G13 deletion down the road. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 09:54, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I won't argue for or against because I oversaw the class under my work account, but I wanted to drop a note that I've greatly reduced and re-worked the article. It's no longer an essay and the article now has subject specific sourcing and a bit of a growing history section as well. I wanted to know if this would be enough to save the article.

 * I'll also drop a note at some of the applicable WikiProjects to see if anyone can help expand this, since it's pretty much a stub now. ReaderofthePack (｡◕‿◕｡)  14:57, 18 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Merge to Women's cinema. The content in both Women and Documentary Film and in Women's cinema, plus maybe Woman's film, needs to be reworked, streamlined, and better organized. Later, the Women's cinema section might grow large enough to be split back off to a separate article, per Summary style.The original premise, WP:NOTESSAY, is inapplicable here, by the way. There's nothing about the topic of women + documentary film that necessaries that all the content be original research, and any OR that happens to be present in the article is irrelevant to AfD, per WP:NOTCLEANUP. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 17:32, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * In all fairness, the original version of the article had a lot of content that I've since removed or edited down. ReaderofthePack (｡◕‿◕｡)  14:02, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. Perfectly reasonable premise for an article. It may not be well written, but the answer to that is content cleanup, not deletion. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 23:05, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 09:47, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: Draftify vote struck, since after 's edits, it's now keepable as is (though preferably not entirely as is) and it's more than needs to be merged back anywhere. No objection to someone (else) taking a broader approach to restructuring/reworking the other women's film pages. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 10:08, 24 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep after the edits to the page were made it looks like a reasonable article. It certainly needs expanding but it no longer reads like an essay. However, with some cleanup this could be a good article. QueerFilmNerd  talk 05:15, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Article has been reworked. It's a subject worthy of an encyclopedia article, and important in the realm of film history. Netherzone (talk) 15:55, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
