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

Indiscriminate list of loosely associated topics, fails WP:NOT#DIR Jay32183 21:35, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Wikipedia is not a repository of trivia, per WP:NOT. What is next, ice cream scoops in popular culture? Garden shears in popular culture? Nostrils in popular culture? --Charlene 21:38, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong delete, definitely indiscriminate list here. These "in popular culture" lists have gotten way outta hand... Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 21:43, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Bring on Popular culture in popular culture. Sorry, this is yet another article that blatantly fails WP:NOT#DIR. Trusilver 21:46, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete trivia and not encyclopedic. no WP:RSes that scythes in popular culture is a notable phenomenon. Carlossuarez46 21:54, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete for all the usual reasons which apply to at least 95% of these articles - trivia, indiscriminate, directory, unencyclopaedic, listcruft, take your pick. Iain99 22:03, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
I pick trivia...oh wait. You were being rhetorical weren't you? Trusilver 00:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Sorry, I can't think of a more boring title for "The Grim Reaper in Popular Culture". It's a collection of scythes.... let's build a tool shed. Mandsford 01:56, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - I honestly can't believe anyone created an "in popular culture" article about a common farm tool. I mean, what next? "Pants in Popular Culture", where we list every single mention or incident of pants on TV, radio, books, or movies? What about "Pop Culture in Popular Culture"; it can just be a copy of every episode of "TV Guide" for the last 25 years. --Haemo 02:09, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as they've failed to mention the classic joke from Blackadder. Lugnuts 06:25, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, this has to go. Punkmorten 08:09, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Popular culture-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 15:29, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as a violation of WP:NOT#INFO and, well, my eyes. María (críticame) 18:45, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as per nom and above discussion. Listcruft as per Iain99. Too bad someone put such effort ito it. Bearian 23:34, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
