Legion in popular culture
AfDs for this article:


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

Cannot find WP:SIGCOV in reliable third party sources to met Wikipedia's WP:NOTABILITY guideline. The substance WP:INDISCRIMINATE with lots of use of the word "Legion" without having any WP:VERIFIABLE connection. Previously nominated for being WP:OR with the promise that it would be sourced, and it simply cannot be because sufficient sources don't exist. Jontesta (talk) 19:05, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Another TV Tropes style list of non-notable trivia. There is no discussion of the concept as a whole, and no sources that would allow this to pass WP:LISTN. The Keep votes in the previous AFD from 2010, which resulted in a no-consensus, were simple WP:ITSNOTABLE arguments, that would not really fly today. While the actual Legion (demons) article is pretty short and could probably stand to have some expansion on the topic of its impact on culture, there is nothing from this mess of a list that should actually be kept or merged.

 * Strong delete. The only thing most of these entries have in common is the word. Those I bothered to check had nothing to do with the biblical Legion. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:51, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - Typical TVTropes nonsense. If the topic has any potential at all, it's not going to be found here. TNT and start from scratch as prose in the main article. TTN (talk) 22:34, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: Honestly, the majority of the entries in this list have nothing to do with the stated topic. Instead, it is an indiscriminate collection of fictional groups and beings that have referred to themselves as "Legion". Furthermore, the vast majority of it is uncited. There is nothing worth preserving here. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 23:45, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. There is a slight chance this can be a proper article, but WP:TNT applies to the current mess that fails WP:LISTN and WP:IPC. Wikipedia articles should be "lists of media that mention term X" (here, List of media in which Legion appears in or similar). Although it would be nice if we could figure out a way to transwiki stuff to TVTropes... (I am serious here). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 09:50, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete per above reasoning. Any significant coverage of Legion's impact on popular culture should not take the form of a list but should appear on the article for the demon itself. Thanks for opening this AfD. ~ Pbritti (talk) 16:57, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
