Trivial "X in Y" crossover list, perhaps better suited for a category. There's no article on Live action puppet film, which would merit a spin-off list like this. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 10:13, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I think this could be a suitable list topic to keep because it is a distinctive kind of film, but there would need to be list sources supporting this kind of topic per WP:NOTESAL. I am wary of any claims of a topic being "trivial" because what is trivial to one reader may be of interest to another. An editor nominated List of films featuring eclipses for deletion, perceiving it as too trivial, but it was resoundingly kept on the basis of sources. We should approach it the same way here.

Keep as seems a valid topic for a list as there have been quite a few notable films of this type and the list gives more information than a category such as the year of release and originating country, director could also be added, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 17:54, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I am not sure what the scope of this article is supposed to be. The first sentence says, "Only films in which all the characters are represented by puppets should be listed here", and that's how the article was originally created. However, nearly half the list now consists of films where puppet characters interact with human, non-puppet characters (such as the Muppet and Sesame Street films and The Happytime Murders). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:31, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Satisfies LISTN. These films have received extensive coverage, such that a large number of them are independently notable and blue linked. It also needs to be borne in mind that this is merely one half of a list of puppet films, the other half being stop motion puppet films. James500 (talk) 05:59, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
