[edit] Gehenna in popular culture

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

Trivia list of things that barely use more than the name and a vague hellish association. --Eyrian 14:55, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete List of trivial mentions = Trivia (WP:5) Corpx 15:33, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
• Merge appropriate listings with Gehenna (disambiguation). Canuckle 16:36, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete all %SUBJECT% in popular culture lists, they are nothing but trivia and violate the five pillars of Wikipedia as well. Burntsauce 18:55, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

• You know, copying and pasting the same argument 26 times in 12 minutes Special:Contributions/Burntsauce (between 10:43 and 10:55) could lead to questions about whether your points are based on careful consideration or not. Canuckle 19:24, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

• Trivia is trivia, no matter how you slice it. No change in opinion, this needs to go. Sooner the better. Burntsauce 22:12, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as trivia collection. If some cultural impact is to be demonstrated, this can be done in prose, with references and in the main article. Bullet lists of simple trivia, on the other hand, has no place here. And yeah Canuckle, I did read the article. Punkmorten 00:30, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I appreciate the effort to vary the comment. I chose this AfD at random to note the rapid-firing voting above. Probably a poor choice because I don't particularly care for this article and it appears to have little merit. Should I have posted to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Schrödinger's cat in popular culture where reading the article and the AfD would be hard to squeeze in while posting to 8 AfDs in 60 seconds.

• Categorize the most relevant articles in the list to Category:Abrahamic mythology in popular culture (or 'Jewish' of Abrahamic) and then delete CaveatLector^Talk 06:23, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Good suggestion. However, to my eye, there's only about 3 articles on this list (Cherryh's planet, D&D plane and the Norwegian heavy metal band) that would be appropriate. And those are already listed on Gehenna (disambiguation).Canuckle 14:21, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Facts can be covered appropriately by lists, topics cannot. Golfcam 23:55, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete This is silly. I was surprised that there would be any pop culture discussions of the Jewish concept of "gehenna", and it turns out that there aren't. This is mostly a list of persons and things named "Gehenna". Let's have an article about "Brandy in popular culture" and it can be about women named Brandy and Brandi.
