The result was   keep. "listcruft" is not a valid deletion rationale. Perhaps this could be merged/redirected to Belial, but that is an editorial decision that should take place on the talk page of this article. NW ( Talk ) 00:38, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Belial in popular culture

Trivial listcruft that shows no signs of notability. If there is any important ones, they belong in a small section in the main article only. RobJ1981 (talk) 21:49, 9 September 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:02, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge the significant points to Belial. The information in the article isn't all that bad. I would recommend something along the lines of ""Belial" or a variant is a popular name for enemies in video, card, and role-playing games, including [whatever]" to summarize the game references, and the most significant film and musical references.

 * Keep most of it is significant--a little isn't. There's enough here to justify an article. "listcruft" = IDon'tLikeThisList" which is not a reason for deletion.The use of notable cultural themes in significant ways in notable works is suitable subject for an article.

 * Keep -- I agree with DGG. The article needs references.  But note the results of a google book search.  Geo Swan (talk) 15:25, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Pure listcruft. Tidbits of junk of the sort "I saw this one time in this book/movie/videogame I like". Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 19:35, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
