Delete - Wikipedia is not a repository of loosely-associated topics. That a film has an amputee character is nowhere near sufficient to justify this article. Otto4711 02:46, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Per nomination. No encylopedic association.--Dacium 04:50, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. A list of films about amputees might, by some stretch, be acceptable, but a list of movies that simply involve an amputee is arbitrary and indiscriminate. Arkyan 18:01, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per Arkyan. An article about the role/use of amputees in film, if non-trivial, reliable sources exist for it might be appropriate. -- Black Falcon 20:12, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Per nomination. change to Merge as per Mermaid below. Hoverfish Talk 07:30, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep or merge Society often stereotype people with disabilities and their use in film is perhaps the easiest examples to study. Arguably this list should be merged with List of films with disabled protagonists. I would also point out that all the entries in this list are articles so this list serves more as an index to Wikipedia.--agr 16:32, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge into List of films about disability, but keep the information involving amputees (that is, don't just indiscriminately shuffle the films in, but put it in as a sub-section). Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 17:54, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment actually, there are several lists of this type that might be much better as a merged larger article with information about the disabilities portrayed in each film: List of films about disability, List of films with disabled protagonists, List of films involving amputees, List of films featuring mental illness and List of films featuring blind characters, many of which have been nominated for deletion by Otto4711 and are thus also currently undergoing their own AfD debates at this time. Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 05:09, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment another possibility is a merge to List of amputees, which has a section on fictional amputees. Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 23:58, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
