List of occurrences of a popular nursery rhyme. Trivia collection, unacceptable per WP:FIVE. Eyrian 20:49, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I guess authors are trying toname it is many ways as possible those trivia-filled articles.--JForget 22:35, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep In what way does Five Pillars ban In Popular Culture articles? --Transfinite (Talk / Contribs) 22:37, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * First pillar says that "Wikipedia is not a trivia collection". --Eyrian 22:53, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Isn't Five Pillars more of an overview of policy than actual policy? The trivia link points to a page in the Manual of Style, which encourages rewrites, not wholesale deletion.  Besides you give no proof that this is "trivia" other than "it is a In popular culture... article, and they all have to go". --Transfinite (Talk / Contribs) 01:57, 27 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Either On the one hand, it's better that they are here in than in the article, remove them from here and they might creep back in. I also feel that in some ways, cataloguing the salient cultural references of a piece such of this can be benefit those that are attempting to comprehend the the cultural relevance of the work. Ring a Ring O'Rosies is evoked up in many mediums.. is enough to say just that without describing what the references are?  It is this question which led me to start this article rather than remove all the references willy-nilly from the article itself. This being said, most of the stuff here is trivial by it's nature and may not have a place in an encyclopedia.  All other "cultural references to" articles that populate wikipedia should likewise be deleted, though. leontes 22:59, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:5 and not a trivia collection.  If dont see any notability for this song in popular culture.  Corpx 02:26, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Corpx. Trivial list of indiscriminate information. Resolute 04:34, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge back into the article about the nursery rhyme. Mandsford 00:23, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, WP:TRIVIA. IPSOS (talk) 23:15, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
