World Trade Center in film and media


What we have here is a looooong list of: pan shots which skim the New York skyline prior to 9/11, anything filmed with New York as a backdrop between the building and destruction of WTC, movie scenes in which the protagonists drive past the WTC... hell, read the article and see just how trivial some of these so-called "featured in" references are. Add to that the near-complete absence of sources (and those which do exist appear to be primary and often links to offsite copyvios) and we have canonical listcruft: original research with no apparent bar to inclusion, any glimpse however trivial is included.

 * Keep useful list, but delete those entries that are not notable or are limited. --Pinkkeith 17:15, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. In first looking at the page, my feeling was to vote keep solely based on the size of an effort to create such a list.  However, it fails way too many Wikipedia policies and guidelines to be kept, especially No original research, verifiability, and most importantly what Wikipedia is not. -- Renesis (talk) 18:56, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. There appears to be interest in such a list, however it should be culled to remove incidental usage otherwise potentially every production set in New York City from the early 1970s to 2001 could be listed here. Stick with productions in which the WTC is featured either in an iconic sense, or as an actual location. Pan shots, remove. 23skidoo 21:05, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Terrible idea to begin with, not to mention WP:V and WP:NOR concerns. Interrobamf 04:14, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete listcruft, i.e. an indescriminate collection of information formatted as a list. Eluchil404 11:43, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
