Meager, incomplete, too-short list. These individual films are covered more completely in other articles and templates. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 17:54, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. If it's incomplete or too short, this can be fixed by editing. Unless a more complete list exists, I don't see a good case for deletion. If such a list does exist it would be helpful to identify it here.--Michig (talk) 18:11, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge with RMS Titanic in popular culture; both articles are incomplete, it would be WP:BETTER to moosh them together than to delete either one. Edward Vielmetti (talk) 18:16, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Such a Merge looks like a sensible approach.--Michig (talk) 18:19, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge with RMS Titanic in popular culture per Michig. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 19:15, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and no merge to a pop culture article. I can't say that I understand the nomination.  The events of April 15, 1912, have been the subject of many movies, even more so than December 7, 1941 (Pearl Harbor) or November 22, 1963 (JFK assassination).  The nominator suggests that there are more films than the fifteen that are referred to here, hence the trinity of meager, incomplete, too short), which is a reason to add.  Still, fifteen films out of the last 97 years is a lot.  Under no circumstances should this be merged into the mostly stupid "in popular culture" article.  Instead, the serious film section of that article can be merged into this one, rather than sharing a stall with the list of hilarious references to the disaster in SpongeBob and The Simpsons and Zack and Cody, etc. Mandsford (talk) 20:29, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd support this approach as well, if the commentary from the "in pop culture" article was merged in with this one; better to give some context for those films that simply a list of names. Edward Vielmetti (talk) 22:13, 26 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge as suggested above. There is already a list of films in that article. That seems like a better place for this list. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 02:35, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge as suggested above. Titanic as a cultural touchstone is notable, but it's hard to see how twisting the untimely deaths of over 1,500 people into a Nazi propaganda piece or a trite, hackneyed melodrama (IMHO) is really any less "stupid" than a mention in Spongebob Square Pants. All are parts of pop culture; there's no need to have separate lists. --NellieBly (talk) 02:52, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to RMS Titanic in popular culture per suggestions above. Oh how I despise X in Popular Culture articles.  :(  JBsupreme (talk) 19:34, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to RMS Titanic in popular culture. Much as I dislike IPC articles, it does already exist and there is no valid reason for two of them, nor is the list so long that it cant cover it in both. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 22:52, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge This belongs as part of RMS Titanic in popular culture, not out here on its own. --A1octopus (talk) 13:16, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
