Fails WP:LISTN, WP:IINFO. Only references are database entries or news articles about the films, mostly Rotten Tomatoes pages, rather than documentation on gold mining in popular culture. The two external links are top-10 listicles about mining in general. Oddly, there's no delsort about mining or extractive industries. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 20:39, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Category:Mining in film includes Films about the California Gold Rush‎ (19 P), Films based on King Solomon's Mines‎ (7 P), and Films about the Klondike Gold Rush‎ (8 P). The last one has a Bugs Bunny cartoon in it. These films on the list seem to be about various things, and just happen to take place with a gold mine in them, that not always a major aspect of them. The Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend says the main character has a man who owns a gold mine trying to romance her. So the categories and the list article are all just random things it seems. Also on this list is The Shakiest Gun in the West which doesn't mention the word "gold" even once in the article, so not sure if has anything to do with gold mining.

Delete Much as I find this interesting and would personally like to keep this page....the references are about the individual movies (and some of them appear to be about actual gold mining!), not about gold mining in film. Could be covered by a category just as well. Fails WP:LISTN Deathlibrarian (talk) 23:28, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I am afraid this is to passing GNG/NLIST.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:54, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Some of these films have a lot more to do with trying to reach the place where gold mining is taking place than with gold mining itself. No evidence this is seen as a cohesive whole, nor that it makes sense to conflate traveling to California in the 1840s, with traveling to Australia, with traveling to Alaska in the 1890s.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:44, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or WP:TNT (yuk, yuk) as a bit of a mess. For example, Virginia City and Ride the High Country are more about transporting gold than the actual mining of it. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:29, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
