List of references to Damocles

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This list is pretty much one of these "in popular culture" lists with a different name. In any case, this is a potentially infinite list: references to the sword of Damocles are made routinely in so many books, speeches, films and whatnot that the list is an entirely indiscriminate collection of trivia.

 * Delete This article is just a list of information which is irrelevant, it also fails Wikipedia is not a directory. Telly addict  17:46, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Of the entries here, the asteroid Damocles and the 1920 short film The Sword of Damocles...these might be worth preserving elsewhere. But some of the others aren't references at all. Delete as unsourced/unverified as references to Damocles or the Sword of Damocles. -- saberwyn 22:03, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Damocles partially duplicates this list. If this list is kept (and linked from the main article) then the main text would get more stable and maintainable. That's the reason for all the "... in popular culture" articles. Pavel Vozenilek 11:53, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
