[edit] List of children's films

The list is very vague and only includes five films after its creation over several months ago. There are multiple more lists of films that include various children types of films such as: List of computer-animated films, List of Disney live-action films, and List of Disney Channel movies. Unless this film sees a massive increase in films, I don't see it being notable enough to remain. Nehrams2020 05:59, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

• Categorise - seems to be more suited to a category. MER-C 08:02, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and don't categorise. How do you define a children's film anyway? Emeraude 11:26, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This page may be incomplete, but is it any different from any of other members of the lists of films category? Not especially, except that nobody has seen fit to care about it. There is already a category btw, Children's Films. And defining a children's film is pretty easily. Any film suitable and marketed at children, usually to the exclusion of adults. This is frequently established by the production company's own self-description of the film, though there may be the rare exception. So, as objections go, I'd say that's not a problem. At most this page is woefully underpopulated, but that just means it is orphaned, and lacking attention. Mister.Manticore 18:03, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Mister.Manticore. --Alex (Talk) 20:08, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep children's films are a major genre, much wider than just Disney and animation, and this is the only list I see of children's films. It needs to be hugely expanded, but should not be deleted. I'll see what I can do to expand it somewhat. Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 20:16, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Okay, in just 30 minutes of work, I was able to expand the article to several times its former size, with many of the entries I added being neither Disney nor animated. It still needs more expansion, of course, but that's a small sample of what can be done with the article with a bit more work.Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 20:50, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and expand as useful list of films. Capitalistroadster 00:44, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete and Categorize While it has a criteria for inclusion, it offers us nothing more than a category would. Categories are easier to maintain. GRBerry 14:22, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Categorize if you wish, but this shouldn't be an article. The same can be said for most, if not all, of those in lists of films. -- Ned Scott 06:27, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep because it's a handy place to put redlinks, which don't go in a category anyway. Synapopyse 23:19, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
