The result was keep. The list distinguishes itself as fundamentally different than Lists of Dutch films. The discussion over what entries should be included is not a decision to be made in an AfD (or grounds for deletion). I see nothing that suggests the list is being overwhelmed by having a large scope and is arguably as large as List of German films or any other national film lists. Also lists when too large can be broken down into sub-articles by year such as Lists of French films. (non-admin closure) Mkdw ^talk 07:14, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redundant with List of Dutch films. Professorjohnas (talk) 10:29, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The nominator is mistaken. Not all Dutch-language films are Dutch films, and vice-versa. Some Belgian films are in the Dutch language, but are clearly not Dutch films. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 10:54, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Lugnuts and my comment here. Lukeno94 (talk) 17:41, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Lugnuts. Erik (talk | contribs) 20:48, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as having overly broad scope and being ill defined. What is a Dutch-language film? Is Rush Hour (1998 film) dubbed in Dutch a Dutch-language film? If not, then what is the difference between a Dutch-language film and a Dutch film? -- Toshio Yamaguchi 20:53, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The vast majority of films have a primary language. You bring up an interesting point about dubbing, but I would argue that it should be the original language. Erik (talk | contribs) 20:55, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Dutch is the language of multiple countries, as pointed out by Lugnuts Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 23:29, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
