List of boots in media and popular culture

Delete. Because "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of items of information." AlistairMcMillan 12:54, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Blimey - delete - purely indiscriminate, WP:NOT is policy, not every fact about some random boots is of encyclopedic importance. Moreschi Request a recording? 13:09, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I see no difference between this and a hundred other lists on wikipedia.  For example, List of Cognitive Biases, List of UML tools, List of Wii games, List of Homer Simpson's jobs.--85.211.178.206 13:16, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Indiscriminate and pointless. --Folantin 14:28, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Up until this revision, the article was entitled "Go-go boots". In fact, the article has been around for a few years.  Based on its history, I'm hesitant to recommend it for deletion, but it's possible that the list is getting crufty.  In that case, a good spit-shine (er, cleanup) is in order.  --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 14:30, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * On second thought, after rereading this article and Go-go boots, it looks like the list was split off from the main Go-go boots article because it got crufty. I'd suggest paring the list down to only the most prominent examples.  We don't need to know every single time boots were mentioned (like Jeff Beck's song "Led Boots".) --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 14:35, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Any significant appearances of Go-Go boots (if any could be called significant) should be mentioned in the Go-Go boots article. This List should be deleted.  AlistairMcMillan 14:41, 9 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Rename to List of go-go boots in media and popular culture, and edit down to a manageable size and focused topic. Alba 16:13, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete. A list of instances in which someone in music/movies/art is wearing boots?  This is hopelessly trivial and indiscriminate.  Fails WP:NOT in a bad way, and has absolutely no redeeming value.  Arkyan 18:02, 9 March 2007 (UTC)


 * This article was made for walking. Delete. -- BPMullins | Talk 18:27, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - oh dear god. Otto4711 19:36, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as trivia well beyond WP:NOT. Nuttah68 22:08, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, unbelievably indiscriminate. Krimpet 22:48, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Sub-trivial and very crufty.  Dragomiloff 19:24, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Sheesh... it doesn't even have the quote from the movie Mafia! "Mmmmm... Booooot". Neonblak 01:33, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - A random Maggie Gyllenthal TV interview, and War at Home and Good Burger references to fill the article out more? Now that's what I call crufty!! Or else someone's really obsessed with boots! Nate 03:31, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Absolutely trivial and indiscriminate. WjBscribe 03:34, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - spectacularly indiscriminate, and begs the question of why there isn't a list of every popular culture instance of a shirt being worn too.Tt 225 17:32, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, some people have obviously been working hard on this, but it could be cleaned up, edited down and perhaps renamed as Alba suggests. An alternative could be to move the few most famous examples to the article boot. John Anderson 12:48, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
