- Delete Does not pass WP:STAND, unsourced also for 16 years. Does not seem like a necessary list to have as a standalone article. Tooncool64 (talk) 05:13, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

- Delete. If you click on the bluelinked items in this list, most of them appear not even to be theatres. Certainly the redlinked items cannot be listed without sources, and the bluelinked ones could only be listed if there is a source that states that they are, or even were, working theatres. Nothing encyclopedic would be lost by deleting this article. -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:41, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. Needs clean-up, not deletion. Per WP:LISTN, "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources." Theatres in Bangkok, as a group, have been discussed by scholarly sources such as this SPAFA Journal article, this Chulalongkorn University PhD thesis, and this Thammasat University master's thesis. While the grouping of theatres is discussed within the context of a wider topic, the discussion is in-depth enough to warrant a list dedicated to the subtopic, given that no Theatre of Thailand article currently exists to which the content could alternatively be merged. --Paul_012 (talk) 14:31, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Per Paul. It could easily be converted into a sourced table list with information. Theatres are an encyclopedia topic, but perhaps it should be moved to List of performing arts venues in Bangkok as Ssilvers has a valid point. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:00, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
- Keep A typical list for a big city. Per Wikipedia:LISTN, sources have to have discussed the grouping or set in general ("theatres in Bangkok"), but the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable. This version of the article could certainly use more sourcing, but the sources are surely there. Aymatth2 (talk) 15:36, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Sources found covering this. A table format like other articles of this type Category:Lists of theatres by city would be allow more information to be shown. Dream Focus 17:41, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
- You can talk about creating List of theatres in Thailand instead. Abhishek0831996 (talk) 15:47, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
- Or rename this article and add to it. Dream Focus 16:38, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
