These pages are part of a set which was generated nearly three years ago. These are the most saliently lacking of the bunch. The pages listed here are generally unusable and represent unsorted, unvetted, unlinked, and often incomplete database dumps from what presumably was an IMDb list. None of these pages has had any significant editing, maintenance, or improvement since 2006, nor is there significant linkage to these pages from outside their walled garden. In the meantime, WikiProject Films has evolved to more efficiently handle needed articles on a request basis (both via WP:FILMREQ and the task forces' announcement templates) instead of an en masse database overload. --Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 03:42, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment When it comes to stuff in wikiproject space for an active wikiproject, I would rather see an attempt at consensus from the wikiproject, rather than an MfD. I suggest you go discuss it over there, and if the consensus is delete, then just mark them for speedy deletion housekeeping, and cite the consensus discussion.

 * Last time I attempted speedy, the admin told me to take it to MfD. Is there a problem with dealing with it here? Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 08:35, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not a problem per se, but it would be nice if you at least asked the Wikiproject members first before asking outsiders to decide whether this stuff is junk or not. The wikiproject people probably know better than us. Gigs (talk) 23:09, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Just as a point of order, Girolamo is a coordinator for the Film project, so he probably knows what's the project wants kept around. Though, a thread at the WikiProject page without objections noting the material was about to be deleted would probably have been sufficient for an admin to G6 it all. –xenotalk 20:44, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Girolamo is right; we have better approaches to handle needed film articles. Raw data from the Internet Movie Database is not useful because the presence of an entry there does not equate a notable article to include on Wikipedia. I'm fine with their deletion. — Erik (talk • contrib) 12:57, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Also agree. These pages are not used at all in any project work or for any useful purpose. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 13:11, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep  there is nothing wrong with this  in project space. Let them decide. There is no deadline for completing Wikipedia DGG (talk) 02:23, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Um...you do realize that all of the deletes are coming from the Film project itself, right? -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 02:28, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know but this may surprise you Strong delete. Never got around to adding to these, sooooo busy. Anyway the lists were created in the mainspace shortly after I created these so any films can be added to the lists in the mainspace. Glad you are doing a spick and fan. Nuke em asap cheers.

 * A co-ordinator of the Film project (the nom) is requesting them deleted, so unless the creator or one of the contributors wants them userfied, I would say Delete to allow them to clean out their project subspace. Was Blofield notified? –xenotalk 20:40, 6 August 2009 (UTC) (notified him)
