Idi Amin in popular culture

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article is actually quite good. It is quite good as a dumping ground for crap that has been refused at Idi Amin. It is very good for listing indiscriminate nonsense, regardless of how trivial, about Idi Amin. It is good, but it does not belong in Wikipedia. Please lets delete this indiscriminate collection of information. Ezeu 10:00, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. The worthwhile stuff - eg The Last King of Scotland - appears elsewhere; the rest shouldn't be anywhere. BTLizard 10:34, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - I disagree that this article is good in any way. It consists mostly of comedians mentioning, pretending to be, or talking about him; trivial mentions in songs, films, books, TV shows, or radio programs.  It's also totally unsourced, and in many cases original research.  What IS worthwhile should be merged back - but there ain't much. --Haemo 10:37, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete it before I stop resisting the temptation to add information about Charles Stross's Iron Sunrise which appears to be missing... JulesH 11:05, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete for all the same reasons I nominated it the first time. The only information that should be in the main Idi Amin article is a section noting the people who played him. References to old Robin Williams comedy routines and the like are trivial garbage and should be deleted. Otto4711 13:34, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. What does this article have to tell us about the subject of Idi Amin's influence on popular culture?  Nothing.  Unencyclopedic content, yet again.  Ark yan  &#149; (talk) 18:06, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete And Ted Baxter once talked about plans to interview him. Absolutely the definition of indiscriminate information. ObiterDicta ( pleadings • errata • appeals ) 23:10, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
