[edit] Pulp Fiction in popular culture

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

Delete - another directory of loosely associated topics. These things have nothing in common other than a reference of greater or lesser triviality to the same film. This list, seeking to capture every time a particular film is referenced or parodied in any other medium, tells us nothing about the film, nothing about the fictional items from which the references are drawn, their relationship to each other or the real world. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fight Club in popular culture for one of many similar articles which have been deleted. Otto4711 02:34, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep thorough and easily verfiable list that shows major influences on culture of a significant, award-winning/nominatd film. --Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 05:26, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - "major influences" -- like, say "An episode of According to Jim contained a MacGuffin briefcase which, like the Pulp Fiction briefcase, contained an entrancing, glowing light.", or perhaps "In a recent T-Mobile commercial one of the characters states "You don't give another man's girl a foot massage" most likely a reference to the conversation Jules and Vincent had.". This is a laundry-list of trivia, with no encyclopedic merit. The article doesn't even try to address the topic, it just launches into a list of every cultural reference to Pulp Fiction, no matter how trivial, and with no context as to its importance. --Haemo 05:32, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete Along with all the other XXXXXXXXX in Popular Culture articles Rackabello 07:25, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Ugh! Another list of loosely associated trivia. It's original research to suggest that this random collection of facts is evidence of anything - the article certainly contains no sources to tell us so. Iain99 09:01, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete WP:ATRIV was made for a reason. Delete this along with all the other trivia articles in Category:In popular culture (as of typing, there are 121 other articles on Wikipedia like this). Spellcast 12:47, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as another exemple of IPC articles are not useful in separate articles.--JForget 23:02, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete at the very least as a collection of non-notable information. There is some room for categorization here, but that's a bit sketchy. CaveatLectorTalk 01:43, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
  • You know what they call an indiscriminate list of trivia article in Paris? ...Nope, that's all I got. Delete. María (críticame) 01:56, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
    They call it: fr:Wikipédia:Ce que Wikipédia n'est pas. --JayHenry 23:11, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete None of these sets of scrappy un-filtered notes can ever become a encyclopedia article. Golfcam 17:44, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
