The result was keep. There seems consensus that notability is clearly established and that no specific cleanup standards that would necessitate deletion, rather than cleanup, were occurring. (non-admin closure) Nosebagbear (talk) 14:43, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The article in its current state needs an almost total rewrite into a more encyclopedic format. The article should be summarized in the section of the more general page for horror movies while a rewrite is done to conform to wiki standards Zubin12 (talk) 13:44, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I'm not seeing any valid reason for deletion in the nomination. Sure, the article needs work, but that is not in itself a reason to delete it. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 16:02, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As Lugnuts states an article needing work (and there are millions of those here at the 'pedia) is not a reason for deletion. WP:BEFORE and WP:SOFIXIT are guidelines to consider brfore nominations like this. MarnetteD|Talk 17:34, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep This is clearly a notable subject within film criticism. The article could use work, but what articles don't. Simonm223 (talk) 17:36, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Snow keep - as has been pointed out, this is a notable subject. Misogyny in horror films is really exaggerated and frequently discussed by film critics, journalists and academics specializing in gender/media studies. —Мандичка^YO 😜 18:56, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - it could use some work, but seriously, it's not anywhere close to destructively bad. AfD is not for article review. By every measure we have, it's a notable topic. Bearian (talk) 20:09, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
