List of cultural references to psychokinesis and telekinesis

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Laundry list of trivial associations with no analytical depth. Don't be fooled by the footnotes, they don't link to analysis, only plot summary. --Eyrian 15:06, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Just because they take the time to describe the instances doesn't make it any more encyclopedic than a straight up and down list.  ɑʀкʏɑɴ 15:09, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as a potentially limitless directory of loosely associated topics. This could stretch to literally tens of thousands of trivial references given the number of characters with telekinesis and the number of times it's used as a plot device. Oppose the inevitable suggestion that this be merged to another article on the topic as it's just as much a trivia dump in another article as it is on its own. Otto4711 15:11, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:ATRIV was made for a reason. Delete this along with all the other trivia articles in Category:In popular culture (as of typing, there are 120 other articles on Wikipedia like this). Spellcast 16:09, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Same as "_____ in popular culture." Wonder if we can make a bot to nail all of these? Realkyhick 17:32, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete - at least it's honest about being a list. However, the only inclusion criterion appears to be "vaguely related to the subject in some way".  That's indiscriminate.  --Haemo 02:06, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete half credit for honesty, unfortunately, not encyclopedic, per my comments on other similar articles. Carlossuarez46 04:29, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete "Psychokinesis has a well-established existence... in movies" LOL! Indiscriminate list of trivia, and ".PK is the Internet domain name extension for the country of Pakistan" is one of the most irrelevant things I've ever seen in one of these lists. Iain99 11:48, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep (surprise) for the most part, it accurately summarizes those characters whose abilities lend themselves to production wherein slim wires cause objects to move. It does kind of bother me that the parting of the Red Sea is described as telekinesis.  Since this will be deleted, and since nobody actually has telekinetic powers (I'd prefer invulnerability, but this would tie for invisibility as a close second), maybe it should be merged with an article about telekinesis.
