[edit] Jack Kerouac in popular culture

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

Unlike other "in popular culture" articles, this one is basically List of mentions of Jack Kerouac, making it essentially a WP:NOT vio. Bulldog123 21:22, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - I agree definitely a indiscriminate collection of information. It includes every possible reference of Jack Kerouac. It might as well include an incindent when a school newspaper metioned him. --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (ταlκ) 21:32, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Has Jack Kerouac ever existed outside of popular culture? ~ Infrangible 21:40, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Another trivia collection without the sources. Maybe some info can be transferred into the main article in a sub-section, but little may be salvageable. --JForget 22:19, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - the first line says it all: "This is a list of popular culture references made to American Beat author Jack Kerouac." If only more "in pop culture" articles were so honest. --Haemo 23:53, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete no sources; clearly some indiscriminate collection of information, which Wikipedia is not. (→vishwin60 - is User:O in 3 days (possibly)) 00:16, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, hopelessly unmanageable listcruft. Just a list of mentions, nothing more. Kill it. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 01:10, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:FIVE - Not a trivia collection Corpx 04:52, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Popular culture-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 12:06, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as a violation of WP:NOT#INFO. Complete and utter unencyclopedic content. María (críticame) 18:23, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:LC (points 1, 2, 3, 4, 6) Stifle (talk) 21:06, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. This is doubtlessly an interesting source of Kerouac trivia for a fan, but does definitely not belong in an encyclopedia. --Targeman 00:48, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom., and all of the above.--JayJasper 14:40, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
