List of high school cohorts in popular culture

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I've tried to add some categories, but I see this as a not terribly accurate or notable list. The first two films, Grease and American Graffiti are indeed set in the years indicated: but in the latter film, Paul LeMat's main character is older, and isn't even in school - several of the main characters graduated from the same class, but that's as far as it goes. Dazed and Confused is split between a graduating class of 76 and freshmen entering the same year (so maybe this should be listed twice?) Nowhere in the too-lengthy plot outline for Romy and Michele's High School Reunion does it say that this is the class of 87: it's just that the film was released in 1997 and the main action takes place at a ten-year reunion. Apparently, the video for "It's All About the Benjamins (Rock Remix)" was dedicated to a class - so what? I could go on but I believe what we have here is both trivial and in some cases, inaccurate original research, and should be deleted as such. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 04:49, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:41, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
 * BTW, we do have a category for class reunion films, Category:Class reunions in film, television and literature and I suppose someone could create one for prom films, too. I'm going to speedily rename this cat to "Class reunions in popular culture," and both reunion and prom films could make for perfectly valid lists. However, the deletion nominee is neither of those, it's a combination of the two, some others. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:35, 20 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete Oh dear, that is not notable or an encyclopedia topic at all. Reywas92 Talk 22:51, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
