Delta Force in popular culture

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

A completely unreferenced TVtropic listcruft. Like all similar articles (ex. Articles for deletion/United States Navy SEALs in popular culture), it fails numerous policies, guidelines and like: as an 'in popular culture' article, WP:IPC and MOS:POPCULT/TRIVIA, as a list, WP:NLIST and WP:SALAT, as a potential topic, WP:GNG and  WP:INDISCRIMINATE, due to lack of references, WP:OR and WP:V. While it is not impossible a imagine that a proper article could be written on this topic, my BEFORE failed to find anything useful to even start o nthiat, plus WP:TNT applies to the current OR list of trivia ("In the Stephen Coonts novel Wages of Sin, Joe Billy Dunn, Tommy Carmellini's colleague-turned-nemesis, is an ex-Delta Force Operator."). That's what TV Tropes is for, folks. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 09:32, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete, completely unsourced mishmash of ideas in pure violation of WP:NOTTVTROPES. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 16:17, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - Not a single bit of sourced content actually discussing the topic as a whole, just a list of largely extremely minor trivia. Rorshacma (talk) 22:07, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. The number of errors in the list makes it problematic as well. Intothatdarkness 02:49, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete as the article is substantially WP:OR. I haven't even seen evidence of notability, where Delta Force in popular culture has significant coverage in multiple reliable independent sources. But if someone did find those sources, there would be nothing to WP:PRESERVE from the current article, which appears to be written entirely from questionable sources.
