Haka in popular culture

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

I fear this article fails WP:OR, WP:GNG and MOS:TRIVIA. My BEFOFE does not suggest that the broad concept of "Haka in popular culture" exists outside Wikipedia. The article simply discusses some uses of this dance outside traditional venues. Some facts like this can be mentioned in the article about haka, but there is no need to split that, and titling this "in popular culture" is pure OR.

Please note tha that much of this article is a copy of Haka, so an WP:ATD can involve redirecting this there (that said, that section likely needs trimming for the same reasons as outlined here). Half if not more of what we have here is also a dupe of the better defined Haka in sports. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:37, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete: This particular list-disguised-as-article does at least cite some decent references. But they are all simply verifying that a group of people did the Haka at some event; none of the sources I can access discussed Haka in popular culture at all.  Nom's suggestion of a redirect would also work for the reason given. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 14:35, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Haka - This seems to be a rather unnecessary WP:SPLIT, as the Haka article is not so long that a spinout would have really been needed, and most of the information here, including the links to the related full articles, is already present there.
