A non-notable classification of films based on places where they are shot in a particular vast geographical location. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 21:52, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Convert to category- Non-notable list, but could be viable as a cat. A412 (Talk • C) 01:31, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm! That makes some sense. We have 124 enteries in Category:Films by country of shooting location. Very few of these countires are sub-divided into states or major cities. Category:Films shot in India has 96 enteries thus meaning this category is not used extensively. I wont specifically speak for other countries now as they might have reasons to keep such categories. But isnt it default that Indian film is shot in India? In fact, "Non-Indian films shot in India" or "Indian films shot abroad" should be the categories. Also as the main category in itself is used less i dont see point in breaking it further. And what do we break it into? All states and regions? Above that i also dont understand how its a meaningful distinction. How does it matter if the film was shot in Maharashtra or Uttar Pradesh? -§§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 08:23, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Would that be to a new category within Category:Films by continent of shooting location? Moving and trimming the content to the Category namespace would need the original to be kept for attribution purposes, wouldn't it? But do we normally have redirects from main -> category? An alternative would be to rename to List of movies shot in North Karnataka, if the content is notable. -- Trevj (talk) 15:00, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We don't redirect across namespaces, so something pointing from here to a category would not work. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 15:11, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as indiscriminate collection of informaion (WP:IINFO). Categorization is fine, but would probably occur by state, so this page does not need retention in any form. Sandstein 16:56, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
