[edit] Henry Darger in popular culture

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

This article seems to consist mostly of original research. It's basically a detached trivia section, consisting of various comparisons between modern popular culture works and the paintings of Henry Darger. All of these comparisons lack reliable sources; in fact, the article contains no sources whatsoever, and thus fails WP:V. If there are any reliable references for these comparisons, a few of the most prominent examples can be placed in the main Henry Darger article, but this page as it currently stands has no encyclopedic value. *** Crotalus *** 10:00, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - unsourced indiscriminate collection of information that in the opinion of any random editor bears some resembalnce to Darger or his work. Otto4711 14:58, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep or merge back into Henry Darger. The explicit references to Darger or "The Vivian Girls" are certainly worth mentioning in his article in chief. Anything else should be preserved on a subpage of his talk page rather than deleted. - Smerdis of Tlön 16:17, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
• merge back into Henry Darger - pop culture references are not OR and are permitted in wikipedia: in fact, they're a part of the standard template. If there's a song called "The Vivian Girls", it's hardly OR to call it a reference to the Vivian Girls. DewiMorgan 19:12, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
