Johannes Brahms in film and popular culture

Delete - This is a directory of loosely associated topics. The listed items have nothing in common beyond using a segment of a piece of music by a particular composer. This list tells us nothing about the composer, nothing about the compositions (except that they are public domain and so free for movie producers to use), nothing about the fiction that uses the compositions, nothing about how they are related to each other and nothing about the real world. Strongly oppose merging any of this into any other article on the composer or the pieces. See for precedent the deletions of similar articles for Adagio for Strings and 1812 Overture.

 * Strong delete per as a trivial list of... well... trivia.  Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 12:47, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete bad trivia. Like Otto says, it tells us absolutely nothing of worth about this composer. Bulldog123 13:54, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Trivia collection, WP:5 - Every time _______ was used/mentioned in a tv show/movie Corpx 15:09, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as trivia collection. If some cultural impact is to be demonstrated, this can be done in prose, with references and in the main article. Bullet lists of simple trivia, on the other hand, has no place here. Punkmorten 00:26, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete I had expected that this would be a mention of different compositions as part of modern day film, but this is one of those "guess-what-I-heard" type lists that typify most "pop culture" compilations when someone said Brahms or Mr. Brahms was portrayed by an actor. A tip of the hat to everyone on this one for not suggesting that all such articles must be deleted; this is crap, even by IPC standards. Mandsford 15:32, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
