Per WP:SALAT, "Lists that are too general or too broad in scope have little value". Many, many movies have post-credit scenes (see [1]) and it is not a defining trait of a movie, so maintaining an incomplete list of post-credit scenes is not useful. Films with post-credits scenes that are particularly groundbreaking can be mentioned at post-credits scene, whilst most post-credits scenes just belong at the article for the film itself. — Bilorv (he/him) _(talk) 18:33, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I disagree. The amount is not that extensive and, although they existed in smaller numbers before, PCSs only began to be a real trend with super hero movies in the last years. It's interesting to document how they grew in number and changed in form over time. - Alumnum (talk) 19:24, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- The link I gave lists almost 350 films, more than triple the amount that the current version of our list includes, and I think triple the length of what we have is really too long for a list. The fact that it's becoming an increasing trend plays into my argument, as the number 350 is going to increase significantly over time, and we're essentially then going to be maintaining an incredibly long list of mostly superhero movies. The right place for covering post-credit scenes is at Post-credits scene, where we can detail the origins of it, some key films including it and then comment on how the trend started and increased in recent years. — Bilorv (he/him) _(talk) 22:59, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The post credit scenes always get mentioned in film reviews. This is notable. Dream Focus 21:17, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep please keep. I find this extremely interesting and a good place to find this information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.22.99.182 (talk) 19:48, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Meets the inclusion criteria for lists in my opinion. Cosmic Sans (talk) 14:08, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I find a lot of opinionated votes in this discussion. Barely have used any Wikipedia policies. AmericanAir88^(talk) 15:16, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The list has well-defined inclusion criteria and a natural scheme of organization (chronologically, dead simple), and it is not nearly too long to manage. Even a few hundred rows in a table is not going to break either a server or a browser. The topic is wiki-notable, and a list can help the prose article stay less cluttered.
