List of Disney animated features' titles in various languages

[edit]

I'll just shamefully copy and alter the reasons from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of titles of Harry Potter books in other languages (2nd nomination) (credit goes to Mangojuice), as I'm in a hurry.

  1. First of all, most Disney films have articles in many other wikis, so the titles of the books in other languages can be obtained there.
  2. Second, I don't think Wikipedia should be in the business of having articles like this -- WP isn't babelfish.com and it isn't a dictionary either; I think this is unencyclopedic... I know Disney is popular, but if we keep this it's a slippery slope.
  3. Third, and perhaps most importantly, if the article were properly sourced, it would look suspiciously like original research, I think: unless someone ELSE has ever written an article or book about the translation of Disney films, we're going to be using entirely primary sources.

For all these reasons, delete. ' (Feeling chatty? ) (Edits!) 04:49, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Re point 3, there is nothing in WP:OR preventing the use of primary sources. Spacepotato 05:12, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This list is excessively long, and isn't really necessary. --Coredesat 05:59, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, looks like original research. I gotta say, I wish occasionally there were a WP:Unnecessary... Tychocat 10:07, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, reeks of OR. I said this on other one of these Disney/language/list AFDs, but this sort of cross-language article poses real maintence and verifiability problems and it adds nothing all that useful. - Motor (talk) 14:06, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, and remove them all from the individual Disney feature articles as well. --FuriousFreddy 15:35, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep,
    • 1. The presence of information in other wikis is not a criteria for deletion from Wikipedia. Quite the opposite - "no original research" demands that info in Wikipedia has to appear somewhere else, so the nominator's first argument is actually evidence that the article is not original research.
    • 2. Invoking the slippery slope fallacy does not support the deletion of any article. All articles on AfD should be evaluated against the criteria for deletion and not against any other standards.
    • 3. Evidence against original research was presented in point 1.

If the article is voted for deletion, at least move it to another wiki that supports film-trivia, such as Film-Flam. Other voters comments about necessity and usefulness are well taken, but are not currently criteria for deletion (maybe they should be, but they're not.) dryguy 16:02, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
