[edit] Iceland in popular culture=

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

Article essentially contains trivia-like information that are not sourced. Delete per WP:V and WP:TRIVIA --JForget 23:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment Article would need some restructuring before it can be judged. The tabular format just doesn't work with this type of thing. Mandsford 00:36, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP is not a trivia collection Corpx 01:41, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - while this isn't as wretched as some other "...in popular culture" articles, it's still a directory of loosely associated topics. The refernced items have nothing in common past the Iceland bit and they tell us nothing about Iceland or the real world. Otto4711 01:55, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge into Iceland article, doesn't really expand either the parent or referenced articles as it stands Guycalledryan 02:53, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per Otto4711. This is probably one of the best formatted foo in popular culture articles I've seen, but it remains a collection of loosely associated topics. Resolute 04:03, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete a few books that have some events take place in Iceland does not confer notability on the "Iceland in popular culture". Carlossuarez46 05:46, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Iceland-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 08:17, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Listcruft, blatant WP:NOT#DIR violation. Blueboy96 12:59, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete and it's such a pity, as it's such a likeable article, sort of like ... Icelanders! :-) Bearian 22:17, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge: with the Iceland article. Per Guycalledryan. There aren't very many. The merge should also be accompanied by a verification --HAL2008TK CT 23:42, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete/redirect In addition to WP:TRIVIA, Wikipedia isn't an indiscriminate collection of information, which this article clearly is. It's also unsourced, as a number of people have already said. (→O - RLY?) 01:59, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
