Istanbul in popular culture (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

This isn't an article about Istanbul in popular culture. It's just a random list of mentions of the word "Istanbul" and the setting of Istanbul in books, movies, anime, and TV. Completely arbitrary. Bulldog123 15:12, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as a directory of loosely-associated topics. The items on the list have nothing in common beyond a reference to Istanbul and the fact that they mention the city tells us nothing about the city, the items from which the reference is drawn or the real world.
