Behemoth in popular culture

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Just a list of loosely associated topics, fails WP:NOT Jay32183 23:34, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - this is a laundry list of trivia all loosely related to Behemoth. For instance:
 * "Behemoth" is a huge AS (Arms Slave) mecha in the hit anime series Full Metal Panic, officially called Plan 1501 it is owned and developed by a terrorist group called A21 and is powered by a Lambda Driver, its huge construction and mechanical integrity is dependent on the power produced by the lambda driver.
 * The secret super-computer hidden under a secondary school in the BBC children's drama Dark Season was named Behemoth.
 * In the popular PC game, StarCraft, Behemoth-Class Battlecruisers are Terran command ships.
 * The biggest problem I have with these "articles" is that they aren't articles about the subject in popular culture. They're just a laundry list of trivial mentions across a variety of different topics.  Way back when, I redirect Dune in popular culture to Dune, and wrote a proper little section which is still there -- and it doesn't accumulate trivia.  --Haemo 00:20, 24 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per Haemo. Starts with the premise that "The mythological creature Behemoth has been depicted in many aspects of Popular culture," and then goes on (as Haemo points out) to list anything that is named "behemoth".  Behemoth is something big, it's pronounced buh-HEE-muth, not BEE-hee-mawth, and that's about all we need to know about its use in pop culture. Mandsford 00:28, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Categorize into an appropriate 'Abrahamic mythology' category and then delete. These pop culture offshoots all over wikipedia, and it would be best if they were done away with. CaveatLectorTalk 00:50, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. Indiscriminate collection of loosely associated trivia. Crazysuit 03:14, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per the usual suspects: loosely associated topics, trivia, etc. Shame we can't just WP:IAR delete anything that ends with "...in popular culture". Resolute 03:49, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia isn't a trivia guide. RobJ1981 04:50, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as trivia, unencyclopedic. -- Docether 13:09, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete None of these sets of rough notes can ever become a encyclopedia article. Golfcam 17:33, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
