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

The trend with "in popular culture" topics, wittily captured by this former embedded list, is over the top and is now heading downhill.

  • Question Actually, merging to something wouldn't change the fact that teachers are in countless movies and TV series, so what would be the use? TheBlazikenMaster 00:39, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete because the criteria is ridiculously vague and unencyclopedic. Just because films have the protagonists as teachers does not mean that there is a connection worth noting. This article is purely original research that could do a much better example recreated in the future as a prose article using independent, secondary sources providing significant coverage of the prominence of teachers' roles in popular culture. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 15:23, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
