Jiang Shi references in anime and games

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I proposed the article's deletion, but the prod was contested. My original prod rationale was:

"This article was created (not by me) in order to remove trivial entries from the 'Cultural references' section of the Jiang Shi article, which still has such a section, but of shorter length. Almost all of the entries noted here are trivial/incidental and do not merit inclusion in the main article, much less a separate article. Merging the content back into Jiang Shi is not needed as the content exists in the latter's history (go to the revision dated February 23, 2007) and can simply be restored from there."

In short, this article was forked off from Jiang Shi. It is verifiable, is not original research, and is not an indiscriminate collection of information, but it constitutes a directory of trivial/incidental cultural references. In cases like this, I generally favour a highly selective merge, except that the Jiang Shi article still has a "Cultural references" section, which does not need to be bloated.

 * Keep - I'd like to see the article kept for the simple reason so that we won't get editor after editor trying to add all these references to the Jiang Shi article itself. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 18:05, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete or at most, convert to restrained prose and add to the Jiang Shi article. I think each article should be held to the same standards, rather than use one article to deflect sub-quality content from another.  Leebo  T / C  18:37, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, old info can be rescued from history if necessary. Splitting is monstrously inappropriate. Axem Titanium 20:31, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with Jiang Shi. Seems that would be better seeing as the two articles aren't huge. DBZROCKS Its over 9000!!! 21:36, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Per above. John Smith&#39;s 00:33, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Merge or Delete. I'm more for merge, but it seems as though this is not wanted info.  Whatev.  Snarfies 00:11, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
