Talk:Wikimedia in popular culture

sorry to split self-ref, but this started to become fluff.

"July 2006"? Since when can we see into the future? 58.169.32.1 02:47, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

I saw that episode, he did indeed say Wikipedia sounded like the name of a disease!

Proposed merger
This merger seems totally noncontroversial as they are essentially different articles on exactly the same subject. I suggest merging into "popular culture" b/c it's the full word. If no one opposes in the next few days, I'll just do it.--Chaser T 03:51, 21 June 2006 (UTC) Update: I didn't notice that one article is about Wikipedia, whereas this one is about the parent foundation. Nonetheless, I like Jak's proposed compromise.--Chaser T 01:10, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge - even though wikipedia and wikimedia AREN'T the same thing, it would be fine to have the wikipedia version as a subheader in the wikimedia one - Jak (talk) 17:17, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * If we were to merge this, it should probably be under "Wikipedia in popular culture", as there is nothing about other Wikimedia projects. That said, this should really be put under project space, as it's all rather gratuitous self-reference.  How many other "websites in popular culture" articles do we have?  We don't even have Google in popular culture.--Pharos 13:57, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Good point. Should we take it to AfD to get consensus?--Chaser T 16:27, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, done. See Articles for deletion/Wikipedia in pop culture.--Pharos 16:41, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Deletion
Neither of the articles should be merged, one of them should be deleted and the other one rewritten. They are two articles about the same thing, but, after reading it, the article looks much more like a scrap. The "pop culture" one should be deleted and the "popular culture" one should be rewritten
