[edit] Disney Movie Deaths

Disney Movie Deaths (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I'm not convinced that this list is very encyclopaedic; it is unsourced (presumably the sources are the films themselves) and could arguably constitute original research for that reason, but moreover a list of deaths in Disney films sounds like an indiscriminate collection of information not worthy of its own article.

  • Delete - Per concerns of nominator. Cool Bluetalk to me 00:18, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. I agree that a list of Disney deaths is unencyclopaedic, and could be construed as original research. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 00:31, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I am biased in that I just like lists, but I think that this article could be expanded. Perhaps it can be considered noteworthy in that Disney has a tendency to kill at least one character in almost every one of their movies in spite of their kid-friendly image.

  • I don't think that's a noteworthy cause either. Garfield kills spiders all the time, despite that being a supposedly-kid-friendly strip; does that mean that every Garfield spider gag's notable? Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 01:13, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
True. After further consideration, I am changing my vote to Delete. Useight 04:56, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, we don't do cataloging for its own sake, only when there's some value in it. If there's something to be said about killing off a character in every movie, say that in the main article. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 01:56, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom.—Gaff ταλκ 02:09, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as intrinsically indiscriminate. There used to be an article (IIRC) on something like "Disney absent parent syndrome", which at least has been noted by reviewers and even scholars as a notable aspect of the studio's oeuvre. It's barely possible that Bambi's dad, et al., have inspired similar scholarship, but I've never really come across it. --Dhartung | Talk 03:56, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, as Disneycruft. Also as per nom. Lankiveil 04:58, 19 May 2007 (UTC).
  • Delete per nom. Maxamegalon2000 05:59, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, a reasonable list about limited subject area. --Movedgood 10:56, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Despite all the valid reasons above, you have decided to give a "keep" without a valid reason. Could you please explain your reasoning. WP:JUSTAVOTE is hardly a reason for any opinion. Answered. Cool Bluetalk to me 11:40, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Concur with above deletion reasoning. Doesn't appear to be particularly useful. JodyB talk 12:09, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete: I see no enyclopædic merit in keeping this article; it is unreferenced, poorly written and I have a feeling that it could never be exhaustive or well-referenced. Max Naylor 14:13, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete: This is not only unencylopedic, but also non-notable. --Jhskulk 19:00, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Neutral: I think if this list was cleaned up it could be useful, but in it's current state is not needed. --bdude Talk 00:22, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. 2 quick Ghits indicate that the topic is a trope (Disney death = character like Baloo or Winnie the Pooh appear to die but spring back to life) and a source of academic study - DEATH IN DISNEY FILMS: IMPLICATIONS FOR CHILDREN’S UNDERSTANDING OF DEATH , a College of New Jersey, Ewing study. However, a list of deaths in Disney films would only be justified AFTER the topic proves notable enough for an article. Canuckle 02:24, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as both non-notable and non-encyclopeadic. Agnetha1234 14:49, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
