[edit] Batmobile in popular culture

Batmobile in popular culture (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Trivia collection, containing only brief and irrelevant mentions. Unacceptable per WP:FIVE Eyrian 17:08, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. This handwaving does not constitute a valid reason for deletion under Wikipedia's deletion policy. Digwuren 17:39, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NOT: "Wikipedia is not a directory of everything that exists or has existed". This is just a list of every time a Batmobile has been seen. How about giving a valid reason why the article in question deserves to exist, Digwuren? Punkmorten 18:11, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Collection of loosely associated topics, fails WP:NOT#DIR. Jay32183 18:41, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
• Holy Non-notable-lists-of-loosely-associated-facts, Batman! Delete. CaveatLector^Talk 22:44, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, nominator did not carefully think out reasons for deletion or present a good case for deletion. Plus it appears to be flirting with breaking WP:POINT due to the sheer nature of AFD's of this nature listed all at once. Just because an article is dealing with popular culture does not mean it has to be deleted. If anything, the opposite is more likely to be true. Due to the nature of popular culture an article to do with it would tend to have more potential references in the popular culture than others would have. Mathmo ^Talk 00:28, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete because it's a list of loosely associated items: WP:NOT#DIR. And because Mathmo did not carefully think out reasons for keeping or present a good case for keeping, pasting the same opinion (the last sentence of which passes my understanding) indiscriminately into multiple AfDs.

• Delete - yet another directory of loosely associated items. The word "Batmobile" being spoken on a TV show means nothing in pop culture terms. Otto4711 01:52, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete all %SUBJECT% in popular culture lists, they are nothing but trivia and violate the five pillars of Wikipedia as well. Burntsauce 17:10, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Look, there's the Batmobile! Great idea for an article. Mandsford 02:11, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete not notable, no WP:RSes that it's notable. Carlossuarez46 20:51, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
