[edit] List of IMAX venues

While not completely unmaintainable yet, it will become less maintainable in the future, not very uncyclopedic (Who looks in an encyclopedia to see where they can find an IMAX nearby?), and wikipedia is an encyclopedia, NOT a general knowledgebase of everything ever known by anyone in the history of the world. --Phroziac (talk) 15:45, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - IMAX venues are rare enough that this list should be maintainable. - SimonP 16:22, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - agree with SimonP. We'll deal with the future when the time comes. Wikipedia is not paper. The JPS 16:24, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. IF the list was shorter, I'd support merging it into the IMAX page. As it stands, it's too big to merge and too small to consider unmaintainable. --Several Times 17:04, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per SimonP. IMAX theatres are uncommon enough to have such a list. Jaxl | talk 17:55, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep or merge with IMAX. Shingen 19:14, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, for once this is a list that is actually useful. As long it doesn't get complimented by List of IMAX cinemas where there are trees near the back door and so on. -Splash 19:16, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Lol, Mea culpa, per WP:BEANS. That list actually got created (not by me) and deleted: [1]. Come on, own up, who was it? -Splash 02:49, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
    • I did it. It sounded useful... :) Voyager640 19:03, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I'd say they're rare and notable enough, as temples to the cinematic arts etc; the one at Waterloo is possibly even a notable building in its own right. -Ashley Pomeroy 21:34, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Hi there, we moved the details out of the general IMAX article because it grew too big and the IMAX article was more about the list of cinemas than about the other aspects of IMAX. Moving it back again would just recreate the problems we were trying to solve. Plus we didn't find such list readily available elsewhere (while this [2] site contains all the theatres, all items are hidden behind a flash interface - there is no free access to the source list.

• Keep. This is useful information, why on earth would you have it deleted? --Mb1000 23:39, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Agree with SimonP. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:22, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. For all the good reasons given above. --DrTorstenHenning 07:38, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per everybody above. Zoe 07:52, August 17, 2005 (UTC)
