1970s retro movement
This is decadecruft (I'm nominating this and 1980s retro movement at the same time), that violates WP:OR, WP:V, WP:WEASEL and WP:NOT. It's just an uncited list of 70s-themed movies and TV shows with a few random bits of pop culture trivia tacked on to the bottom. It's so bad it makes the horrible 1980s retro movement mess look like a featured article candidate. Aaron 19:01, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Strong Strong STrong Keep - For reason of Mango. The article is clearly a stub and need major work. Nevertheless, it is still a valid topic, and a simple google search can verify it Chubdub 19:38, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is an incomplete article on a valid topic.  I know, it's not encouraging that the 1980s retro movement article hasn't improved, but I think there's ample evidence that this one really happened.  The period in which the retro movement occurred is over, so at least now this article isn't covering current events.  I don't even see the need for a cleanup tag, particularly; just mark it as a stub.  Also, this article hasn't been subject to the same attempt to have it improved that the 80s one has.

 * Abstain, with the note that this would be better handled by a category. --Dennisthe2 19:35, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, for same reasons I gave in the AfDs for Twenty Year Rule and 1980s retro movement. Agent 86 19:51, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. RickReinckens 04:34, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Hardly even an article, the opening section of prose needs references and the rest is a list. As per Dennisthe2, the list would be better handled by Category:1970s retro movement (which has been around for a couple of months).  I think the 1970s retro movement could serve as the topic for a good article, but this isn't that article.  A complete rewrite complete with some citations would convince me to change my vote, though. Cool3 18:33, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
