Georgia Tech in popular culture
AfDs for this article: 
 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Trivial mentions of Georgia Tech in various media. This could easily be done for all schools. No reason why Georgia Tech should be treated special here, else it be fancruft. Note that this is the second nomination. Bulldog123 22:54, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Indiscriminate information and a list of loosely associated topics. In The Devil's Advocate Pacino tells Reeves that one of the interns on their law firm goes to Georgia Tech. And in Deliverance a car license plate reads "Georgia Tech." Indiscriminate trivia, list the few notable ones in Georgia Tech. Crazysuit 00:48, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete a list of every time someone mentioned a school in a movie is not worth an article. Ridernyc 01:05, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, reluctantly I said it the last time too, even if it is my alma mater. I don't see much change.  But we have to find a place for the Marilyn Monroe picture, dammit!    Acroterion  (talk)  03:50, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Can and should be done for all major schools where there is enough material. There is here. Six major books, a dozen major movies. Remove the one or two minor one. There's no justification for removing an article because some of the content is unnotable, that's an editing question. On the other hand, if we did want to have a 200,000 article WP, that would be a useful criterion:2 dubious sentences = delete. DGG (talk) 04:57, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete any article or section that ends in "in popular culture"  Man It&#39;s So Loud In Here 17:01, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Not every IPC article is bad, though this is an example of why such articles are hated so much. This one is both rambling AND a wreck.  It's every trivial mention of Georgia Tech, including (a) a "Georgia Tech notebook" seen on screen (b) Al Pacino mentions that someone went to Tech (c) license plate in Deliverance (d) characters in certain novels were said to have gone to Tech (e) Marilyn Monroe and Brooke Shields wore Tech outfit; etc. Mandsford 17:39, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep passed an earlier discussion with a keep, but two months ago. Also, the article helps demonstrate the influence of Georgia Tech on popular culture.  Best, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 04:26, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. As I've stated to you before: things can be in AFD more than once. This isn't a real reason to keep something. Consensus can change. RobJ1981 04:09, 25 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep per DGG. Article is well-referenced. Complaints of trivial entries sound more like a content dispute. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 04:47, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Trivial dumping ground. A prose should be on the Georgia Tech article, and leave it at that. RobJ1981 04:09, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
