[edit] Category "women screenwriters" up for discussion

Thought people interested in this area might like to know that Category:Women screenwriters is being considered for deletion. — scribblingwoman 02:31, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] i'm not gonna bother, but..

women's cinema? not even gonna try and nominate this for deletion, but this page is soon gonna become unmanageable as wikipedians finally find there are several women involved in cinema, more than it is reasonable to consider this a specific category. 201.83.29.118 20:13, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

This is really poor information, you're missing great directors and, of course, deeper information and analysis- Showing no interest in this subject is an affirmation on women situation in the film industry...

[edit] sadness of the abandoned subject

Is there anyone here? I would like to stimulate this project. The first thing it needs is an overhaul of the main page, it's sadly lacking in uniformity or coherence. All the subcategories and pages should be linked here, such as Category:Women screenwriters, Category:Female film directors etc.. I am loathe to make an official project out of it, but I will if I have to. The fact that Female and Women is being used arbitrarily gives me a headache, something has to be moved.

[edit] film selection

Can someone tell em the criteria for selecting the films on the this page? for a the forty year span between 1893 and 1943 there are less than a dozen films listed. There were many more films from that era where women were the primary artist.Is this an article or a list? In its present state I think this page does more harm than good.EraserGirl (talk) 12:33, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
