[edit] Dead prostitutes in popular culture

Listcruft of no usefulness at all. Prod contested by its author, who is also the sole contributor. Phaedriel ♥ tell me - 09:02, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - unmaintainable, endless - it makes no sense to include every prostitute ever killed in just about any movie, TV series, comic book, pulp story or other form of popular culture - Skysmith 09:18, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Skysmith Robin Johnson 09:46, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete The mind boggles - just where do some of these ideas for lists come from?! --kingboyk 10:11, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Unencyclopædic and worthless to a researcher.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  10:21, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom; utterly useless. PJM 11:08, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
• Not quite as useless as the other editors commenting here think, I reckon: I can see this list being of use for a feminist theorist/critic, for example. However, it is not encyclopedic and should be deleted on those grounds. Vizjim 11:24, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as it says "The dead prostitute is a common trope in popular culture, and appears in many films, television shows, and video games." An article on the dead prostitute as a fictional trope would be good, but a listcruft of examples? I think not. Just zis Guy you know? 11:50, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

You guys are just mean. It would've been nice if somebody had told me how this article doesn't merit a place in Wikipedia instead of arranging to have a bunch of people line up and insult me. There are plenty of popular culture articles in Wikipedia, and I don't see how mine is any different. I like Vike 19:53, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

It dosn't belong to you. Go read: WP:OWN. Also, noone was talking about you. This is about the list. Don't take it personal. ---J.S (t|c) 23:23, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Vike. Nobody's insulting you - we're discussing the article. The people who want it deleted have presented reasons they think it should be deleted, perfectly civilly. It's important not to take it personally. Cheers. Robin Johnson 17:00, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as unencyclopedic. And how on earth are the Ripper murders "popular culture" anyway? Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 03:32, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
