For the same reasons outlines with regard to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of locations in the Superman film series, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of characters in the Superman film series, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of characters in the Hulk film series, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of characters in the Fantastic Four film series.

This list is a back-fill construction made from full sections of the articles it points to. There is little or no attempt to summarize the information from those articles, it is just copied and pasted in place.

We have had a number of like content fork lists come through AfD and PROD from this editor, the bulk of which have resulted in the removal of the cut-and-paste lists. This is becoming disruptive - the discovery of new or additional like "lists" after the last batch has been deleted and having to go through the same presentation that "Yes, it's cut-and-past. Yes, it's an unneeded back-fill. And yes it is a carbon copy of already existing material. J Greb (talk) 15:54, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. As with the other nomination, the information shouldn't be bunched together like this. Each film has its own article for a reason. --FuriousFreddy (talk) 16:43, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The article is mostly original research as most of the storylines that the article claims have been adapted to film are more of inspiration than adapted works. Spidey104^contribs 20:47, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Lists, categories and navigation templates are synergistic—the benefits of their redundancy are covered in WP:CLN. This is a useful and informative list and meets the guidelines for inclusion per WP:LIST. Andy14and16 (talk) 03:54, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom and above comments. This articles is really just original research. -DJSasso (talk) 11:33, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
