[edit] Judas Iscariot in popular culture

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

Trivia collection, amounting to little more than "Judas's name is often used to symbolize treachery". Eyrian 19:35, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

• Strong delete, loosely associated topics, trivia, unreferenced, you name it. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 19:37, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
• Betray for 30 pieces of silver - then delete. ←Ben^B4 22:25, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete and, unlike a lot of pop culture articles, I see no ability to categorize what it contains. Best to leave a brief discussion of how Judas has become an archetype or trope of sorts on the Judas Iscariot page. CaveatLector^Talk 22:32, 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. Punkmorten 00:34, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Facts can be covered appropriately by lists, topics cannot. Golfcam 23:54, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete all articles with "in popular culture" in the title; Wikipedia does not need lists of every individual time Topic X was mentioned in a song lyric. Particularly notable examples, if any exist, can go directly into Judas Iscariot, but most are just unencyclopedic trivia. Bearcat 04:50, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. The article looks very much like a list. It can be re-worked as a list and kept in my opinion.Biophys 06:12, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I'm all in favor of anyone trying to salvage a list, but I agree with the others that this is pretty much a collection of occasions where the name of Judas was mentioned. I think a list called Benedict Arnold in popular culture (playing the red or blue game here) would be equally weak. Judas Iscariot never has been celebrated. The author missed the most famous depiction, the guy left holding the bag in Da Vinci's The Last Supper Mandsford 01:45, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
