Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of film accents considered the worst
having changed from keep above). After some discussion, research, and consideration, I think this scope is best replaced by one that is broader and more neutral. Namely, one called English-language accents in film. Wikipedia should cover accents in some way, which was why I originally advocated keeping this article. We do have list of films considered the best and list of films considered the worst, after all. However, the point has been raised that the sources that list such accents are not good enough.  states, ''"When taking information from opinion content, the identity of the author may help determine reliability. The opinions of specialists and recognized experts are more likely to be reliable and to reflect a significant viewpoint."'' In terms of making a "best" or "worst" judgment, we need better than what we have here. I've noticed that there is inconsistency in listing some films. For example, Sean Connery and the use of his Scottish accent has been judged in different ways. This kind of thing to me suggests that we need to be appropriately neutral per  and engage in explanation and attribution, which ultimately defeats the purpose of this list. In the article English-language accents in film, we could cover the general history of such accents and have sections for different accents. Such an article would not have to be ''declarative'' about best or worst accents. In the process of discussing Cockney accents, we could say as ''part'' of the coverage that Dick Van Dyke's accent in ''Mary Poppins'' is ''popularly'' considered atrocious. There's also coverage about Michael Caine popularizing the Cockney accent, and about Marlene Dietrich's accent in ''Witness for the Prosecution'' being commended at the time. By writing prose in this scope, we can avoid declarative judgments and per  be able to neutrally fold content about specific accents together. Doing that would be an improvement over this list. Here are some sources that stood out for me for that kind of article: http://variety.com/2007/film/news/hollywood-more-accepting-of-accents-1117975653/ Variety, http://articles.latimes.com/2000/jun/04/entertainment/ca-37233 Los Angeles Times, http://www.nytimes.com/1995/05/28/movies/film-the-hardest-part-making-the-actors-sound-welsh.html New York Times.
