Delete - indiscriminate list of every time an item happens to appear in a TV show, movie or video game. Provides no context as to the importance of the item's appearance either in terms of the fiction from which it's drawn or in the real world. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of appearances of C96 in popular culture for precedent. Otto4711 13:34, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - is there to be a Wikipage for every entry with "in popular culture" tagged on the end? No. EliminatorJR 18:57, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete -- we should not have an "in popular culture" page for every object, group, or person. We should have such pages for some objects, groups, or people, and we could even have one on semtex, but this is not that article. I am also removing the "Semtex in popular culture" section from the main Semtex article. -- Black Falcon 20:31, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per EliminatorJR. --Selket ^Talk 22:29, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete indiscriminant list. Massively under-populated in its present form and would be a monster if it was filled out. MLA 09:12, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: it was me who created this article by ripping it from the main text (where it dominated the article). If this gets deleted people will start put this stuff back in Semtex and no one will be willing to rewrite the currently poor text (I live nearby where it is produced and have some clue how lousy it is). I am fully aware how crappy the ".. in popular culture" texts are but they do have some positive role under current model of Wikipedia. Pavel Vozenilek 20:13, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
