The result was delete. "It's pretty standard to have these lists" - perhaps, but by now it's also pretty standard to delete them.  Sandstein  11:09, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

List of references to Long Island places in popular culture

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unsourced pop culture trivia, with the majority of the article consisting of entries that only marginally have to do with Long Island, such as "The Bravo show Newlyweds: The First Year had a couple from Long Island on it" or "In Mr. Deeds, Winona Ryder's character says she is originally from Syosset". The article doesn't explain how Long Island has had a cultural impact as a whole, and is instead a list of uncited trivia. Fails notability guidelines. Waxworker (talk) 16:32, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * The problems here are typical of the "in popular culture" pages, but there's something which could probably be salvaged if someone wanted to. That is, a sourced list of movies, tv, music, etc. set in and/or about Long Island, rather than just references to it... &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 16:40, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Long on Island, but short on cultural notability. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:45, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep it's pretty standard to have these lists, and this list is too long to go onto the main Long Island article. We might need to cut some of the material that may not be so directly related to Long Island though. Benevolent human (talk) 20:41, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
 * "Pretty standard"? I see certain well-known landmarks in Category:New York City in popular culture, for example, but nothing for comparable regions such as Manhattan or the Bronx. (P.S. I have just nominated Washington Heights, Manhattan in popular culture for the axe.) Clarityfiend (talk) 02:43, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - Completely unsourced list of trivia that fails WP:LISTN. Since there is not a single source being used and, glancing through the history, there never has been, there is nothing that could be salvaged from this.  Rorshacma (talk) 16:34, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete for the reasons stated above, long list of different media set in Long Island that fails WP:LISTN as reliable sources don't typically list media together based on their setting in Long Island, and has no sources.Mousymouse (talk) 19:10, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
