Kazakhstan in popular culture

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Subject isn't notable. There's the one odious instance from Borat: content which was deemed unworthy of being included in the article about Kazakhstan. A merge back to that article wouldn't make sense. de-PROD'd with the belief that the nomination was in bad faith, so I'm looking for consensus that the subject fails WP:GNG.

 * Weak delete seems like an entirely reasonable subject for an article, but two items simply isn't enough to make it worthwhile. Am prepared to change my vote if it is shown the article can be expanded. Artw (talk) 22:00, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. There's a place for "X in popular culture" articles, but it only really makes sense to have them when the level of information is too much for the main "X" article or wherever else it may be. The Borat-related issues are covered elsewhere, and the brief mention of the other film doesn't make the list worthwhile. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 23:11, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Not enough verifiable information to flush out an article. At this point article fails WP:GNG. Antonioatrylia (talk) 04:07, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - I agree with, although I see how others might argue otherwise. I removed the proposed deletion tag, and asked to put this here so that there would be a chance to debate it and to see if someone could rescue it. Bearian (talk) 14:05, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Per WP:AFDNOTCLEANUP, I am not nominating articles for deletion just to prompt WP:RESCUE to jump in and fix stuff, although someone accused me of same. I'd prefer our volunteer editors work at their own pace. You accused me of PROD'ding this under IDONTLIKEIT, which is also an unfair charge. If you didn't think the subject was notable, then why de-PROD? A "chance to debate it"? That only leads to more bureaucracy, which is often a bad thing. I don't want to be your stalking horse and I'm embarrassed we had to waste the time of other editors to determine something I knew without their input. I don't want to cause any hard feelings but this is just foolish. At least that guy arguing NN schools in Korea were notable per SCHOOLOUTCOMES actually believed what he was saying before he was proved wrong. You didn't even believe your own argument.

 * Actually, you and the others persuaded me to change my mind. Have a good day. Bearian (talk) 19:16, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
 * P.S. For the record, I am right 95 % of the time, yet I'm not afraid to admit I might be wrong. Bearian (talk) 15:51, 11 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete this isn't a stand-alone article and is unlikely to ever become one. This can't be merged to Kazakhstan or redirected to Borat. Power~enwiki (talk) 23:58, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
