List of tributes to AC/DC in popular culture (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

Unencyclopedic trivia. Not suitable for a general encyclopedia imho. kingboyk 13:14, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong keep "not encyclopaedic" is not a reason for deletion (can't find the policy page but I just read it). And actually this page is well referenced, about notable cultural references to a notable band - seems to fit all the key Wikipedia criteria. Need a far better argument than that to consider it for deletion. Madmedea 16:51, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Yes, it is. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information: [1] --CastAStone|^(talk) 16:59, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep This is a tough one. Ultimately, it's just fancruft of the highest form. However, many, many other pages have sctions on pop-culture references and this would likely be in the AC/DC article itself except it's too long.--Velvet elvis81 17:04, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • We don't keep articles because other articles transgress the same policies or guidelines... The idea is that ultimately they'll all get cleaned up. --kingboyk 18:48, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - the article is a compendium of WP:TRIVIA -- Whpq 19:05, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - inclusionary criteria are potentially limitless, which makes it a great example of an indiscriminate collection of information. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 21:57, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - while the potential for inclusionary criteria may be limitless, it does not necessarily mean information is collected on the article indiscriminately. One-off live performances, for example, are deleted, as are other non-notable references to the band. Everything is well-referenced, and the information included in the article is useful — it shows AC/DC's influence over film and television directors/writers and also their influence over other musicians. Again, only the notable references to the band have been covered, not trivial/mundane ones. At the very least, if the editors here do not think the information warrants its own article, I think part of the article should be merged into the main AC/DC page, as in my opinion showing a band's influence on popular culture is quite important.

• Keep - if we delete this, all the articles on Category:Representations of people in popular culture should be deleted, as well as Pink Floyd trivia (which has been nominated and kept) No-Bullet (Talk • Contribs) 03:37, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
