[edit] 1970s retro movement

This is decadecruft (I'm nominating this and 1980s retro movement at the same time), that violates WP:OR, WP:V, WP:WEASEL and WP:NOT. It's just an uncited list of 70s-themed movies and TV shows with a few random bits of pop culture trivia tacked on to the bottom. It's so bad it makes the horrible 1980s retro movement mess look like a featured article candidate. Aaron 19:01, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. This is an incomplete article on a valid topic. I know, it's not encouraging that the 1980s retro movement article hasn't improved, but I think there's ample evidence that this one really happened. The period in which the retro movement occurred is over, so at least now this article isn't covering current events. I don't even see the need for a cleanup tag, particularly; just mark it as a stub. Also, this article hasn't been subject to the same attempt to have it improved that the 80s one has. Mangojuice^talk 19:34, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
• Abstain, with the note that this would be better handled by a category. --Dennisthe2 19:35, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, for same reasons I gave in the AfDs for Twenty Year Rule and 1980s retro movement. Agent 86 19:51, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. RickReinckens 04:34, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Hardly even an article, the opening section of prose needs references and the rest is a list. As per Dennisthe2, the list would be better handled by (which has been around for a couple of months). I think the 1970s retro movement could serve as the topic for a good article, but this isn't that article. A complete rewrite complete with some citations would convince me to change my vote, though.

Strong Strong STrong Keep - For reason of Mango. The article is clearly a stub and need major work. Nevertheless, it is still a valid topic, and a simple google search can verify it Chubdub 19:38, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
