  • Keep worthwhile subpage to the main BFI article, alternative would be an ungainly merge. Artw (talk) 16:30, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It shouldn't be merged. Per the guidelines above, this information doesn't belong on Wikipedia. --woodensuperman 16:47, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Which is the applicable clause there? I'm not seeing one. Artw (talk) 16:05, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete As WP:NOTCATALOGUE. Being able to source something is not a valid argument, and never mind that at present there aren't any sources given. Really, the quality of AFD arguments reaches new depths every week now. Mangoe (talk) 11:52, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
How ironic, you quote a guideline but fail to offer any argument. You should try and explain how the guideline applies. NOTCATALOGUE warns against articles that include "product pricing or availability information" - but there is none here. A list of films from a film studio or production company is a valid Wikipedia article, and BFI has produced many films. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:04, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Really? I was under the impression that Seven Samurai was a Toho release. Come on: the mere lack of prices doesn't make this less of a catalogue of things sold by the BFI. Mangoe (talk) 15:42, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The polices under WP:NOTCATALOGUE are not limited to examples in WP:NOT. The absence of pricing doesn't make it any less of a catalogue. Ajf773 (talk) 21:33, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Which part of that page applies? Please be specific. FloridaArmy (talk) 22:40, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This list article is essentially a product database. i.e. a catalogue. Ajf773 (talk) 02:52, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. No refs in the article, without RS coverage it is just a catalogue. I looked on google and news, nothing. I have sympathy for the keep votes but this has been open for 3 weeks or so, and still no refs. Szzuk (talk) 17:07, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
