The result was keep. The list distinguishes itself as fundamentally different than Lists of French films. The discussion over what entries should be included is not a decision to be made in an AfD (or grounds for deletion). Lists when too large can be broken down into sub-articles by year such as Lists of French films. (non-admin closure) Mkdw ^talk 07:13, 1 February 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Redundant with Lists of French films. Professorjohnas (talk) 10:32, 26 January 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Keep The nominator is mistaken. Not all French-language films are French films, and vice-versa. Some Canadian films, for example are in the French language, but are clearly not French films. The same for many African films (like this one, for example). Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 10:53, 26 January 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep per Lugnuts and my comment here. Lukeno94 (talk) 17:40, 26 January 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep per Lugnuts's argument. One of this year's Best Picture nominees at the Oscars is Amour, a French-language film that was Austria's submission for foreign-language film. Erik (talk | contribs) 20:46, 26 January 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Delete as having overly broad scope and being ill defined. What is a French-language film? Is Rush Hour (1998 film) dubbed in French a French-language film? If not, then what is the difference between a French-language film and a French film? -- Toshio Yamaguchi 20:52, 26 January 2013 (UTC)Reply[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[reply]
Keep French is the language of multiple countries, as pointed out by Lugnuts. Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 23:29, 26 January 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
