| Category:Billion-dollar grossing films |
delete. (The list essentially exists at List of highest-grossing films; I don't think users would want us to create a special list with only those that have grossed one billion dollars, since it would simply be taking a portion of this list and transferring it to a new article. Perhaps a separate list could be desirable once all of those listed on the existing list have grossed more than $1 billion.) |

| Natural "death by cause" categories |
closed as a trainwreck - No prejudice against more clear, more focused re-nominations. Note: I commented in the discussion below. But I think this is pretty clear that most agree that, while this may have been an interesting brainstorming session of a discussion, this is a mess (see also the talk page for one disentangling attempt), and no consensus will be found here except to agree that it's a mess : ) - Obviously any uninvolved closer is welcome to substitute their own close for this. - |
