[edit] Tengu in popular culture

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

Just a list of loosely associated topics, fails WP:NOT#DIR Jay32183 20:08, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, indiscriminate trivia collection per WP:FIVE. --Eyrian 20:12, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Grab-bag of disjointed ephemera; also fails WP:V/WP:NOR due to lack of sources. Sandstein 20:17, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per another trivia collection.--JForget 23:03, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. I think I'm going to make a template tag to insert for all of these culturecruft articles. Realkyhick 23:41, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - it's a laundry list of indiscriminate trivia loosely related to Tengu. --Haemo
  • Comment Is it just me, or did the same three persons decide to nominate all these mythical creatures "in popular culture" during the same week? I notice that Eyrian, Jay and JForget seem to take turns nominating and joining the debate. Coincidence? Mandsford 02:08, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
  • You forgot about me. I demand to be included in any vague intimations of conspiracy, dammit! Otto4711 02:25, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Oops! My apologies, Otto. Not that I disagree with (I'll say it) Delete, but I've seen so many imps, raccoon dogs, Japanese ninja girls, etc. that I may be losing my already loose grip on reality. Mandsford 12:14, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
  • If there weren't so many articles that failed WP:NOT no one would ever notice a pattern like that. The problem is the articles, not the nominations. Jay32183 02:42, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
  • My agenda is self-fixed. I'm pleased to see other editors take the initiative, but I can assure you that there is no cabal. Or if there is, I'm very upset at being left out of it. --Eyrian 03:56, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete no WP:RSes show that Tengu's role in popular culture is notable. For conspiracy theorists, note that I have commented delete to many, but keep to at least one; does that make me an unreliabe conspirator too? If someone can find reliable sources that these things have a notable role in popular culture, not just a list of cites which someone's WP:OR and WP:SYNTH that screams "see, it's everywhere it's notable in popular culture..." which is what these lists are really saying, then the outcomes may be different, but the lack of such sources speaks volumes about whether these are notable.

  • Delete per WP:5 as a trivia collection. Nothing but a list of _______ appearances in tv/anime etc Corpx 04:50, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Loosely associated? Yes. Trivia? Yes. Crazysuit 05:10, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I understand "loosely associated" somewhat differently from the way it is being used in these discussions-- to be a list of songs recording in April are loosely associated, or a list of books &c that all have the word Love in their title. Things all primarily about a subject is a close association--that's more or less what is meant by association--things can be closely associated for having the same author or participant or producer--or subject. Same for "trivia" being about a common subject is not trivial. DGG (talk) 00:22, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Saying all these things are closely related because of tengu is a ridiculous claim, that not only shouldn't be made on Wikipedia, it shouldn't be made anywhere. Jay32183 01:14, 26 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 18:54, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete this list of trivia, perhaps after dumping it into Talk:Tengu, though I imagine that the huge majority of it will excite little interest there. -- Hoary 02:57, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
