Talk:Infinite monkey theorem in popular culture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Merge? Conclusion: no
It seems to me that this article should really be part of the Infinite monkey theorem article: all other articles I know of list their popular culture references on the same page. Aprogressivist 13:34, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

- I'd say no. The pop culture thing has a tendency to get out of hand, and was out of hand at infinite monkey theorem before User:Fagles split this article off on 29 December 2006. (The thing Fagles probably ought to have done better was make the split clear in the edit history, for GFDL purposes, but it's not too late; I'll take care of it now). --Trovatore 07:57, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- I say "no." It's not true that all other articles list their popular culture references on the same page -- look at Category:In_popular_culture, which has 12 subcategories plus 76 pages. Also, I find the Infinite monkey theorem article to be much better (more readable and more "encyclopedic," whatever that means) now that it does not have four screens devoted to pop culture references. -Fagles 20:08, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
As the instigator of the merge suggestion, I'm fairly satisfied by the two answers above; I'm taking off the merge tag unless someone else wants to present arguments for keeping it. --Aprogressivist 16:13, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- Counterexample: Massachusetts Institute of Technology has a link to a separate article called MIT in popular culture. Michael Hardy 20:05, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
