The result was delete. I'm not crazy about moving things to BJAODN that aren't funny, so I won't. Sr13 03:18, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Chickens in popular culture

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete - another indiscriminate list serving as a directory of loosely-associated topics. Draws together material from multiple genres and styles of fiction along with a few real chickens with absolutely nthing in common beyond the existence of a chicken, or in some cases a person in a chicken suit.

 * Keep (or annihilate popular culture sections!). Please don't remove this, otherwise all this rubbish gets rolled back into the already too-large Chicken article from where I removed it. I'm not wild about "popular culture" stuff anyway, but there are plenty of Wiki editors who seem to love it, and better they add it to articles like this than into serious articles about biology or whatever.

 * Delete: per nom. I'm sorry, I'm not at all wild about the concept that we need to have garbage articles because it then supposedly becomes too hard to edit the main article.    Ravenswing  16:59, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete as an unencyclopedic directory of indiscriminate trivia. Purely consists of original research; coverage of an animal's presence in popular culture should be reflected through uncovered commentary, not directly uncovered examples. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 18:30, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. No mention of The Wrong Trousers?!  Seriously, though, WP:NOT, OR, etc.  María ( críticame ) 18:45, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as indiscriminate collection of info. Useight 20:36, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - the correct way to deal with unencyclopedic trivia is to delete it, not fork it into its own page. --Haemo 22:58, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and move to Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense in popular culture ON WHEELS!. Yechiel Man 23:24, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Popular culture-related deletions.   -- John Vandenberg 09:18, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and move to Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense/Articles_for_deletion/Chickens_in_popular_culture. This could be considered as listcruft and Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. With regard to "XYZ in popular culture", it can be encyclopedic, but this is one such instance where it is unencyclopedic. You have to be careful with these articles. --SunStar Net talk 09:25, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
