List of references to Space Battleship Yamato in other works

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete - the first section is an indiscriminate directory of loosely associated pieces of trivia. The listed items have nothing in common beyond a pssing reference to a particular series. "It refers to Space Battleship Yamato" is not a theme. The remainder of the article is original research. Otto4711 15:12, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Some of this trivia could be incorporated into Space Battleship Yamato, but not all of it. --Blanchardb 15:19, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I split this off from the main article to stop it being bogged down in trivia, especially the comparisons to Star Trek etc. that were blatant OR and can probably go. I have been thinking of summarising the fact that it's often referenced in modern anime in the "Cultural impact" section of the main article, though some kind of citable reference to this by a commentator (e.g. someone at an anime-related website?) would add weight.

 * This unfortunately happens a lot in far too many articles. This stuff gets split off to clean out the main article, but better here than there is generally not a good reason for doing so. Getting it out of the main article is a good impulse but parking it in its own article as a waste dump isn't. A good sourced paragraph or two in the main article would be a great way to handle it, without the "there was a poster on the wall for three seconds" nonsense. Otto4711 18:43, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
