Leprechauns in popular culture

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The trend with "in popular culture" topics, wittily captured by this former embedded list, is over the top and is now heading downhill.

See Articles for deletion/Smilodon in popular culture, Articles for deletion/Dr. Strangelove in popular culture as well as several others just today. Punkmorten 23:04, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Indiscriminate list of loosely related topics. Fails WP:NOT Jay32183 00:32, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Very little stuff can be merged with the parent article.--JForget 00:38, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Pure trivia, indiscriminate list, and even original research. Useight 00:47, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not the place to categorize mentions about a certain creature/mythical creature.  This is too trivial.  Corpx 00:49, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * delete - a category listing should be the only valid list method. Kripto 00:59, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete This is the stereotypical "____IPC" article where every recollection of a variable is put on a list. In this case, the sighting of a little Irishman is included here.  I see that Punkmorten has chosen Saturday to put up a list of articles ending in the words "...in popular culture", which is not much different than what the average IPC listmaker is doing (in effect, slapping together a group of loosely-related or unrelated topics based on POV.  Each of these lists should be examined on a case-by-case basis.  Mandsford 16:24, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - another directory of loosely associated topics. Tells us nothing about leprechauns, the fiction in which they are mentioned or the real world. Otto4711 17:32, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Uh...I don't think there are leprechauns in the real world. And if there are, I don't want to know about it.  Mandsford 02:17, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom & ample precedent. Carlossuarez46 22:54, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
