Bradbury Building
"In popular culture" sections are meant to record significant appearances of the subject of the article, not every appearance no matter how trivial or insignificant. Please do not restore the item again. Beyond My Ken (talk) 15:33, 30 June 2013 (UTC)


 * The show is popular and has a longer Wikipedia page than the building itself. What gives you the right to decide what is or is not "significant." The item will be restored again, and you will not delete it. Move on.


 * I'm sorry, but your response (as well as your other edits) shows a lock of understanding of how things work here. Number one is that we work by consensus - please read that page for a very basic understanding of the system here.   Secondly, "In popular culture" sections have been very controversial here, with many editors wishing to do away with them altogether, and others (myself included) arguing that there were an important insight on our culture and should be kept.  The compromise that has evolved over the years is that "Popcult" sections are allowed, but need to be limited to important and notable instances, not to trivial or "drive-by" appearances.  Your event appears to be an example of the latter: it happens that someone goes to an office in the Bradbury Building - that does not tell our readers anything interesting about the building, and is therefore not the type of entry we want.  The decision to remove the entry may have been made by me, but I was simply exercising the community's consensus opinion about how those sections should work. If and when you have an example of a notable appearance of the building (or any other article subject) in the popular culture, your contribution will be very welcome.  In the meantime, however, your current contribution does accord with our standards, and has been removed.  Should you restore it, I shall have to bring this to the attention of an admin.  Thanks.
