List of appearances of Beats by Dr. Dre

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A list of places that a product appears in popular culture is not encyclopedic and does not belong on Wikipedia. The fact that people editing the product's main page continue to create such pointless lists in the article itself does not justify creating a separate page for the equally non-notable information.

 * Disagree & Keep. Obviously the dozens of contributors to the list proposed for deletion as well as to the main article itself find it to be of some encyclopedic value, inadvertently generating a large consensus in contrast to your lone objection. It is of no more or less encyclopedic value than the List of Strategic Air Command bases - a defunct organization of almost 20 years, and listing a majority of facilities which no longer exist. As there is no WP policy prohibiting lists of this nature in addition to the consensus supporting the need for this type of information to be cataloged, and it has obviously seen and generated a rather significant amount of traffic, I contend for it to remain, yet to be expanded and better formatted.

 * A list for the deletion of lists. Epic, circular logic. Srobak (talk) 17:00, 20 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:NOT an indiscriminate list of information. Listings of occurances of uses of specific articles of clothing, pieces of equipment, etc are well out of the scope of Wikipedia's mission.  The information doesn't really have a place at Wikipedia, either as a stand-alone article, or as a comprehensive list of uses within the main article.  Would be equally rediculous regardless of the consumer product being hawked; i.e. a "List of people who wear Levi's brand jeans" or "List of people who drive Honda cars" has no more place here than this list does.  -- Jayron  32  19:23, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge to Beats by Dr. Dre. I've never heard of them before, but after reading the two articles I see that the product placement marketing is a big part of the story of these headphones. The merged article will not be too long and a precedent will not be set for other product placement lists. Steve Dufour (talk) 22:48, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
 * seriously? The idea as stated above is to get the main article not to read as an advertisement, which the endless contributions of product placements resulted in, and got it tagged as such. I'd rather have the list deleted outright rather than have it clutter up the original article. Srobak (talk) 04:59, 21 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete per Jayron32's statement; although I would have chosen to merge the content if there are some references to accompany some of the appearances in this list, but every list has to have at least one source otherwise it might get deleted. Minima  ©  ( talk ) 08:00, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
