The result was keep. The list distinguishes itself as fundamentally different than List of Korean films of 1919–1948. The discussion over what entries should be included is not a decision to be made in an AfD (or grounds for deletion).Also lists when too large can be broken down into sub-articles by year such as Lists of French films.

Redundant with List of Korean films (Pre 1948), Lists of South Korean films and List of North Korean films. Professorjohnas (talk) 10:37, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It's nice to have a list in ABC order. ₪RicknAsia₪ 16:48, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I fail to see how those articles make this redundant in any way. Films can be South Korean or North Korean without being in Korean - or they could be from other countries and made in Korean. The latter is of course far less likely, but the point still stands. Rickinasia's argument doesn't make sense either, however. Lukeno94 (talk) 17:38, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

lol, the other lists are ordered by year and this list in ordered by name hence I like having a list that is available in ABC order not just by year although that is nice as well. ₪RicknAsia₪ 03:08, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as having overly broad scope and being ill defined. What is a Korean-language film? Is Rush Hour (1998 film) dubbed in Korean a Korean-language film? If not, then what is the difference between a Korean-language film and a Korean film? -- Toshio Yamaguchi 21:00, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:COMMONSENSE. A Korean-language film is a film that was released originally in Korean. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 10:09, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Seems to be redundant to List of Korean films of 1919–1948 and Lists of South Korean films then. My guess is that the number of Korean-language films that have been produced outside Korea can be counted on one hand (if they exist). -- Toshio Yamaguchi 21:12, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's not redundant. Even if the difference between the lists is only 5 films, they're still completely different - besides, the fact that North Korea and South Korea both speak the same language is enough on its own to justify this article! Lukeno94 (talk) 21:23, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
