Ebola inspired entertainment

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete - Wikipedia is not a directory of loosely-associated topics. Article seeks to capture every instance of Ebola or a virus that an editor through original research has decided is "Ebola-like" from any genre or medium. Although I have to admit I love the article title. Otto4711 13:17, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * This is your standard "trivia/in popular culture" content fork. Please delete. Shalom Hello 14:05, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Some instances could be interesting, but I can't see why it can't be covered on the Ebola page, in a "In popular media" section or something similar. Blaise Joshua 14:28, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Ebola inspired entertainment?  What a bizarre concept.  Nonetheless, this really is nothing more than a run of the mill trivia article, and should be deleted.  Ark yan  &#149; (talk) 15:01, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge somewhere. Other than weird title, which presupposes that an organ-liquefying infectious disease is "entertaining" (the alternative would be that it is "popular", I guess), it's an analysis of Western world artists' approach to a relatively new illness.  I liken this to a description of  the creative response to the Ethiopian famine in '84 and '85-- We Are the World, Live Aid, etc.  Ebola is one of those things (Darfur will be next) that the media highlights for awhile, then abandons because it's too far away and no longer current... That title has got to go, however.  Mandsford 23:16, 25 June 2007 (UTC).
