[edit] Pufferfish in popular culture

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

Trivia collection, consisting of a bunch of bare-name uses. Adds no understanding to the topic. Unacceptable per WP:FIVE. Eyrian 19:31, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Strong delete, nothing but trivial mentions of pufferfish. They look cool but that's about it. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 19:32, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:TRIVIA. Pufferfish are scary looking and can kill you if you eat it. That's all I need to know. --Hdt83 Chat 19:39, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - per above. → Hot Dog Wolf 20:21, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Kill another one of the demons trying to escape 'pop culture' section hell. CaveatLectorTalk 22:34, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, unsourced, trivia only.--JForget 22:37, 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 00:29, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Trivia collection, WP:5 Corpx 02:04, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete all %SUBJECT% in popular culture lists, they are nothing but trivia and violate the five pillars of Wikipedia as well. Burntsauce 23:07, 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 pufferfish, but most are just unencyclopedic trivia. Bearcat 04:47, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I agree that it opens the door for a separate article about every different depiction of a fish or animal in cartoons. For some reason, there's currently an aquarium full of cartoons about undersea creatures, from Finding Nemo to Spongebob. Contrary to the author's assertion, pufferfish are among the least popular of fish to become toons. Mandsford 01:52, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Original research. SilkTork 22:16, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
