List of Chinese dragons in popular culture

 * – (View AfD) (View log)


 * Delete - directory of unassociated topics. Items have nothing in common beyond the inclusion to a greater or lesser degree of importance over a version of a Chinese dragon. This list tells us nothing about dragons and nothing about the fiction from which the listed examples are drawn. Otto4711 13:25, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Chinese Dragons FTW! --PEAR (talk) 13:33, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Uh, what does that mean? That is, I know what FTW means... but why, exactly, do you think the article should be kept? -- Kicking222 13:39, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete A dozen non-notable, unreferenced trivia facts do not add up to a legitimate article. -- Kicking222 13:39, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * delete - Kicking222 says it economically yet well. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 15:05, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I did major in Economics! -- Kicking222 00:42, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - entirely useless and non-policy-compliant trivia. Moreschi Talk 15:26, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge back into Chinese dragon, the fiction section. Mandsford 15:38, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom et al. WP:TRIVIA, WP:OR and provides no WP:RS. --Evb-wiki 16:53, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Listing every single mention of a dragon in film/music/literature qualifies as indiscriminate info. Spellcast 17:36, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is nothing more than a trivia section presented as a stand alone article. Delete all trivia. What is the point? SilkTork 20:55, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Mmmh, my favorite combination. Not only "List of" but also "in popular culture", what a treat! OK, before anyone throws ye olde WP:IDONTLIKEIT at me, I shall hasten to add "per WP:OR, WP:NN, and WP:TRIVIA". ;-) --Targeman 23:35, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, based at least partly on the nomination: "greater or lesser degree of importance over a version of a Chinese dragon: -- so it seems the nom. thinks that some of this is important. He should have rather said, keep, and edit. We do not delete articles because part of it is unimportant. that would be the way to destroy WP--find me an articles where everything in it is important! Deletion is a last resort. DGG (talk) 05:34, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Let me just clarify, for our resident master of twisting words: None of this shit is important. It's all garbage and the article is garbage. Otto4711 18:51, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Let's keep things civil here. Remember that one or more Wikipedians worked on any given article, so please refrain from calling their efforts, even if you don't think they belong here in such harsh terms.  Best, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 00:29, 7 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete as trivia collection and loosely-associated list. Useight 17:27, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per much of what DGG said about improving, rather than deleting. Best, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 00:29, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into another article(possibly chinese dragon as it may not appear to be irelivent information it is still important to others (may even be the reason that someone comes to wikipedia for a specific bit of information),  Ancientanubis ,  talk  Editor Review 02:35, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a category for categorization to me. Category:Chinese mythology in popular culture, maybe?  Which might have various subcats, I would think. CaveatLectorTalk 13:16, 7 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Lists-related deletions.  -- Pax:Vobiscum 21:16, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete List of loosely associated topics which consists of trivial mentions of a "thing" Corpx 16:33, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all %SUBJECT% in popular culture lists, they are nothing but trivia and violate the five pillars of Wikipedia as well. Burntsauce 18:24, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into the "In popular culture" section of Chinese dragon. (Since the section already exists at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_dragon#Chinese_dragons_in_popular_culture, this could be done easily.)--orlady 02:14, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
