[edit] Tin-foil hats in popular culture

Tin-foil hats in popular culture (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested ProD, nominating for full AfD... another one of those "List of ___ in popular culture" articles.

• Unencyclopedic content -- "Tin-foil hats in popular culture" (come on!)
• Unreferenced / original research -- There are no acceptable/reliable sources because this isn't really a notable topic. Nor should wikipedia be an indiscriminant list of places you've seen someone wear a tinfoil hat. //Blaxthos 11:48, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as nominator. /Blaxthos 11:49, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

• The topic made me chuckle! Some, ah, thorough research has been conducted here, but as I can't imagine anyone ever looking this up and it seems to be OR, I must regretably vote delete (haha tin foil hats) Monkeymox 12:39, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
• Strong delete - Wikipedia is not a directory of loosely-associated topics. The items in the indiscriminate list have nothing in common beyond the presence of a foil hat and in a number of instances don't even share that. Ridiculously trivial article. Otto4711 14:52, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per Otto4711. Pretty soon I'm expecting an article entitled Popular culture in popular culture. --Charlene 16:57, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

    • Excuse me while I find a brick wall... --Charlene 00:09, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
      • Perhaps you can find some Brick walls in popular culture (I pray that's a redlink). Otto4711 02:40, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
• Merge the better-known examples to Tin-foil hat on the basis that it can't make that article any less encyclopedic ... the photos and the external links are classic. EliminatorJR ^Talk 18:39, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
• Note: was originally forked from tin-foil hat. —dgies^t_c 18:43, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
• Merge. The tin-foil hat is essentially a popular culture meme from the get-go. Any data thought to be too disorganized to appear as is in the article in chief should be moved to a subpage of the talk page for the convenience of future editors rather than deleted. - Smerdis of Tlön 16:23, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
