[edit] Iron Maiden trivia

  • Delete - indiscriminate unsourced list seeking to capture every mention of Iron Maiden regardless of how pointless and trivial. Otto4711 05:10, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep but rename to something more encyclopedic sounding, source things as appropriate and remove some of the cruft. There are plenty of mentions here that are noteworthy and interesting yet not suitable for the main article. DreamGuy 08:55, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge anything useful into Iron Maiden, then delete this crufty article. Lankiveil 10:43, 13 May 2007 (UTC).
  • Merge per above. Tim.bounceback(review me! | talk | contribs | ubxen) 13:19, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete the article is almost totally unsourced. If some of it must be saved put it on the articles about the individual points not in the main Iron Maiden article as it would interrupt the flow (I'm thinking mostly about mentions in soundtracks), but otherwise delete.

  • Merge per above. KJS77 16:53, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge per above with no redirect. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 22:21, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment The band glorifies poking holes in women. --Infrangible 02:17, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Trivia (and "references in popular culture") is by its very nature unencyclopaedic. - fchd 17:46, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nominator, a non-encyclopedic ball of trivia. Burntsauce 17:52, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge to Iron Maiden, most artists have trivia sections embedded into their own article not into independant or split articles.--JForget 19:57, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge is fine as long as it is not a cut and paste add of a trivia section. The material should be incorporated into the text. If that can not be done, then delete. Vegaswikian 06:36, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete is my suggestion. Please don't rename to something more encyclopedic sounding. As I am fond of telling the sales people I work with, "A sprig of parsley on a turd does not make it a steak." Slavlin 05:28, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge / delete per Vegaswikian. That is, merge only if you are inclined to put the effort in to do a reasonable job. DewiMorgan 17:47, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete this is trivia, not encyclopedia. awgh 18:49, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
