List of films recut by studio[edit]

This article is a hodge podge of poorly sourced information that would probably be best served by a category. CarbonX (talk) 00:06, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Being poorly sourced isn't a valid reason for deletion, and turning this into a category wouldn't help matters. The list is clearly defined and just needs work doing with the addition of references. Lugnuts (talk) 08:05, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
KEEP I agree. in fact, just because their sources are sometimes wrong and all the time poor doesn't mean this article can be deleted.TVB 02:06, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the scope is poorly defined and potentially includes every studio film for which the director did not have a final cut privilege - which is to say, the vast majority. If anything, the opposite would be the easier to list (not that I would support such a list either). Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 08:18, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - most movies on the list do not even stay within the scope of the page —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigar (talk • contribs) 13:48, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete from the page "The following is a list of notable films that were modified by the studio after their original theatrical release, particularly films that were edited without the director's permission or involvement. In some cases, these recuts were done by the filmmaker(s).", so which is it, studios or directors? And what constitutes a "studio cut"? The parameters are wooly.

KEEP - This is an informative article detailing examples on just how much our motion picture heritage has been altered throughout film history. Don't take it out. Hiphats (talk) 05:45, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
KEEP I agree completely with Lugnuts, TVB and Hiphats. The article is informative and useful and is demonstrative of a global film-related phenomenon which can't be addressed by simply stating in one film's article "this film has been recut this way and that way" or creating a category.Happy Evil Dude (talk) 09:49, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete At some point nearly every movie ever made has been edited by the studio after theatrical release. Films are edited for television, almost every movie now has special edition DVDs. Inclusion criteria is way to broad. Ridernyc (talk) 14:43, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
