[edit] Kitsune in popular culture

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

Just a collection of loosely associated topics, fails WP:NOT#DIR Jay32183 18:44, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. As much as I find mythological animals fascinating, this is still a directory of loosely associated topics (WP:NOT#DIR) and completely unsourced (WP:RS, WP:V), with a dash of WP:OR thrown in. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?)} 18:47, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
• Unfortunately unsourced, and as above, fails WP:NOT#DIR. If there wasn't so much info, I'd suggest a merge back to the main article. Delete - but we really do need to figure out how to handle "popular culture" references within articles. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:22, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
• Userfy and Categorize before 'deleting'. I can see a category 'Japanese folkore (or mythology as it were) in popular culture' and/or 'Kitsune in popular culture' being very useful for navigation. Note to closing mod: If this page is deleted, please userfy it into my user space. CaveatLector^Talk 21:39, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, just a trivia collection. --Eyrian 00:49, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:TRIVIA and WP:V.--JForget 02:25, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Keb25 06:37, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
• Merge into Kitsune Mandsford 00:34, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete categories as proposed by CaveatLector would add significant category clutter with no enhancement of the encyclopedia's usability: what qualifies for inclusion in such categories, even if they were useful, would be pure POV and OR, as are the contents of nearly all of these popular culture articles.

• Merge into Kitsune 172.191.100.66 19:29, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as unsourced original synthesis. Cool Hand Luke 08:08, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
