Deletion of List of highest-grossing Bollywood films (2nd nomination)

Comment: per nom and per the discussions in previous similar AfDs shown by the nom. Bollyjeff's concern about the individual articles is valid, but i would say keep the numbers in the film articles and explain there in a footnote or in article text, that the numbers are extrapolations/unreliable etc. It is ok to present numbers with caveats there as long as no conclusions like "highest grossing film" etc are made. But to make an absolute list giving out positions based on such guess work is a bad practice. There is always a danger of such lists reproduced in the media becoming fact through . (it almost happened in the case of the tamil film list

Comment: I believe that if the article is retained it will need to be much abbreviated for copyright concerns unless we can determine that these figures actually are "fact" and not opinion, as the links to the source website suggest they are. If the figures reflect consistent statistics that would be generated by anyone in compiling such a list, they are factual. If they are based on estimates weighting various market factors but ultimately relying on subjectivity (which factors to consider and in what weight, for instance), then the information is copyrightable and we must utilize it in accordance with fair use and . In that case, we might reasonably include a ''brief'' listing in a stand-alone article (top 5 or 10 or what have you, as we do with the subjectively generated Forbes list of billionaires or The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time), and articles on individual films can easily sustain references to the estimate for that particular film. Including extensive listings in one article, though, is akin to including album covers in a discography. What may be more easily defensible in individual articles is not quite so easy to defend when gathered in one place
