Battersea Power Station in popular culture

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Another article that violates WP:IPC, WP:GNG, WP:NLIST, WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:TRIVIA. It has a bit of a prose, suggesting there is something to be said about this topic, but that little can be merged back to Battersea_Power_Station, which could use cleanup. But the list of trivial mentions like "The power station was the location for a weather changing machine in the children's sci-fi series "The Tomorrow People" in 1994 in the episode "Monsoon Man", sourced to a song's lyrics (c'mon...), or unreferenced claims that "Chimneys are observed in the music One Thing by One Direction.", is simply not encyclopedic material (Wikipedia =/= TVTropes). If the IPC section in the main article is properly rewritten and judged it needs to be split out, per WP:SUMMARY, so be it, but the current subarticle became a repository of trivia and needs to go.

 * Delete - Poorly referenced trivia that does not actually have any sources covering the topic as a whole, or explaining why this should be a distinct article from the main Battersea Power Station that already has a sufficiently detailed section on the subject. The many sources listed are very misleading, as many of them are not from reliable sources, and most of them are just the piece of media themselves to confirm such factoids like the powerplant appearing in the background of something. The only actual piece of decent, non-trivia information present, the prose bit describing the idea that its appearance on the Pink Floyd album contributed to its widespread recognition, is already present in the main article, making a merger unnecessary.

 * Delete: This is another repository of trivia, original research and indiscriminate content. It is possible that something could be written about this topic. However, this list is not it. Destroy it and start over. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 22:22, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment - I suggest the closer/and other editors, looking at this one check out the ones on the Tower of London and Blenheim Palace below. The arguments for and against are essentially the same in each case. KJP1 (talk) 10:46, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
 * The articles represent the same low level of quality and share the same problems, so there's no surprise reviews are similar too. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:23, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
