Deletion of List of Academy Award shortlists

Comment: per #NEWS, specifically, ''"While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion... routine news reporting of announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia."'' Shortlists precede nominations, so they make up a kind of pre-qualifying round. From what I can tell, shortlists are reported in news articles with no real commentary since the real contest is among those who become the nominees. There could be instances where a widely-expected film does not get nominated, but these can be reported on individual articles. It does not warrant comprehensive lists like this

Comment: Definitely . No reason to consider . International films have a different process in which each country must produce a finalist, which makes that shortlist a different bird. It is unclear when to stop expanding notability if we allow this. This takes us from winners and noms to those shortlisted. I guess you could expand it to those expected to be shortlisted. Maybe even to listing eligible films. Where would it stop? Maybe {{u|Lugnuts}} could expand this nom or create another one for List of submissions for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, and far less complete pages such as submissions for Best Animated Short Academy Award and submissions for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature
