Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of films by gory death scene (3rd nomination)
First of all, there is no way to objectively define the word "gory." For instance, the shootout at the end of ''Taxi Driver'' was considered extremely graphic in its day, but is not so bad by today's standards (although, in my opinion, it is still quite brutal). Who is to say what constitutes "gory"? Regardless of how one defines it, there is no way to define "gory" without injecting one's |point of view, which violates Wikipedia policy. Even if we change it to "violent" or something else, we can't change the fact that this is going to be an insanely long list with films on it that often have little or nothing to do with each other. Already, we see ''Taxi Driver'', ''Scream (film)|Scream'', ''Saving Private Ryan'', and ''Star Wars: Episode III'' (!) all under the category of "excessive and/or graphic gunfire." Um, the first one is a psychological drama that has no violence whatsoever until the last scene, the second is a slasher film filled with violent deaths (but doesn't have much artistic value), the third is a graphic but critically acclaimed World War II drama with lots of violent battle scenes, and the fourth is a sci-fi adventure where there are no firearms and no blood! This list is a clear-cut violation of the policy that |Wikipedia articles are not supposed to be about loosely-connected topics. Sorry guys, but this one's a no-brainer. It's got to go
