Delete - indiscriminate listing seeking to capture any time a big-headed statue or someting that looks like a big-headed statue appears in any medium ever, completely lacking in sourcing or any notion of the mention's significance in a real-world context. It does not benefit Wikipedia to compile a list of such "I-spotted-a-big-headed-statue" trivial references as In the Nintendo GameCube game, Animal Crossing, one of the home decorative pieces is a Moai statue or the OR/POV assertion In the very first appearance of Marvel Comic's Thor the hero battled aliens called "The Stone Men from Saturn" that resemble Moai. Strongly oppose in advance any suggestion to merge any of this content into any other article about the statues. It's trivial cruft in a standalone article and it would be every bit as trivial and crufty stuck in somewhere else. Otto4711 22:03, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• What Otto said. Get rid of this. Now. -- Kicking222 23:30, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Also, I've read Thor's first adventure, and I don't think the stone men from saturn looked that much like Moai at all. Someone sure did a lot of OR here, and should move all this to heythatlookskindalikemoai.com. Capmango 05:01, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - it's just a collection of unbelievably trivial things that look like, or kinda are, Moai. --Haemo 22:16, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
