Slapdash gathering of random points with no clear focus. Largely redundant to Public domain, Copyright status of work by the U.S. government, and List of films in the public domain in the United States. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 22:17, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Merge - This is content that was merged from Category:Public domain films (now deleted). Per the policy WP:PRESERVE there should be a merge to Public domain film since that article has a "main article" sub-section. However it would be too big since that article is already very long. Public domain film concerns every country in the world, not just the USA, there needs to be a place to put these country-specific issues without creating separate articles for each country (until needed). Film copyright and PD in film is a complex topic with country-specific issues. The coverage currently is US-centric as there is overlap with other US focused articles. -- GreenC 02:42, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep notable subject that has been covered in numerous reliable independent sources. FloridaArmy (talk) 14:59, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• @FloridaArmy: And saying that there are sources = adding them to the article right? If there are souces, WHERE THE FUCKING FUCK ARE THEY and why are they not in the article? Don't say there are sources unless you can fucking prove it yourself, mmkay? Otherwise, I could say there are sources out there on my own ass, and it could have a fucking article. 21:08, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
