List of films relating to Christmas

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:LISTN. Note that this list is distinct from List of theatrical Christmas films. Instead, it is a list of "feature films in which Christmas is more incidental to the plot." In other words, it's a list of films set in December. It includes, for example, 12 Monkeys, a film in which Christmas is so incidental that it's not mentioned at all in our article for the film. This is not a recognized genre, and Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Pburka (talk) 16:42, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this naughty list per nom. Choosing films by unimportant elements? Don't think so. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:13, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I agree that this seems like an indiscriminate collection of films that have at least one scene set in December. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 15:45, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I did a lot of work on this page a couple of years ago, and I might have even created it. The reason for it was because the list of Christmas films was filled with movies that were not Christmas films but had scenes relating to it. Since I worked on the page, it has been filled up with movies that have even less to do with Christmas. I suggest removing the films that have very minimal Christmas elements but keeping the page.

Delete. This is essentially synthesis of unrelated material (films about Christmas, films whose timeframe includes December, films set in fantasy universes where neither Christmas nor December exist...) under a very vague headline—case in point, although Christmas is arguably about one Jewish superhero, I'm surprised to see The Hebrew Hammer included.
