Britney Spears filmography[edit]

Well, I created the article over a year ago when I first joined Wikipedia, and based it on Madonna filmography. Looking at it now, it looks completely unnecessary, since Spears has only starred in one motion picture and made several guest appearances and cameos in other films and television shows. And especially if you compare it to FAs such as Clint Eastwood filmography. Xwomanizerx (talk) 04:55, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Could be merged with the main article. Novice7 | Talk 06:09, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Not if it's deleted, it couldn't. Uncle G (talk) 06:20, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - I didn't mean it that way. The article looks short now, and the television appearances may have links, but needs sources. I say this from what I now. And, now the article's contents can go into the main article. Novice7 | Talk 16:32, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think this is a fairly decent article, and better than some existing filmographies. Xwomanizerx - don't sell yourself short! There's a reason there are so few FA filmographies - because it's bloody hard work to get them to that standard. Before I clicked the article, I was expecting a stub-ish sized article, with a crappy table listing films and roles. This is so much more. Plenty of intro, sources and room for future expansion.

(edit conflict) Keep. This article is perhaps too in depth, and some of its content (the movie appearances) should be added into the main article, but I see no reason why regular editing can't fix the issues with the filmography in its current form. I've been bold and removed the "Commercials" and "Music from motion pictures and TV" sections, which I feel are too much, but the remainder seems like a perfectly reasonable content fork to me. -- Lear's Fool 09:13, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral - I'm actually not sure what I think. Lugnut's comments make a lot of sense, so I'm still not sure.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 11:35, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep With the amount of sources that is available for Godney, this can easily be developed to as far as being a FL. I personally searched and saw quite a lot of info, espeially on the Mickey Mouse thing. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 13:09, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Considering she only had about one main film role and only one main television role. Candy o32 - Merry CHRISTmas :) 16:57, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Lugnuts makes a good case for me. I particularly like that future expansion may not result in a lengthy filmography, but I'm betting on the Britster making some more appearances and a few more movie roles or two over time (yes, crystal ball, I know, I know). And, like Lugnut, I actually found more there than I thought I would. I am NOT a fan of BS in any way, shape, or form. --Quartermaster (talk) 18:11, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep this is extremely notable. ΣПDiПG–STΛЯT 17:03, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There is a lot more than I expected, especially the details of the commercials and which songs were included. Cactusjump (talk) 22:34, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Same reaction – more here than I expected. Wasted Time R (talk) 17:41, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Britney Spears videography – I know I opposed this before, but after I saw Beyoncé Knowles videography I think the same thing could be done with this article and her videography. ΣПDiПG–STΛЯT 05:44, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Abundant RS coverage.--Epeefleche (talk) 21:03, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
