 * This list looks like what I view as reverse annotations; that a cultural work uses a term is a reason to wikilink that term in an article on that cultural work, not necessary a reason to list that use, unless it's more substantial than a mere mention. Which these don't appear to be. So normally I'd say merge to Guns versus butter model, but it doesn't look to me that there is anything worth merging, so delete. If anyone wants to add anything to the parent article, I wouldn't bother, but go nuts and see if anything sticks. postdlf (talk) 03:07, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - A list of "mentions" is, by definition, an extended "in popular culture" or "trivia" list, both of which are frowned upon. Moreover, it does not appear from the list as if there are ANY notable mentions, and, if any were to be demonstrated, there is no good reason that they can't be dealt with at Guns versus butter model, which would allow space to explain how they contribute to an encyclopaedic understanding of the topic. NOTE: If the list is kept it should be renamed to List of references to guns versus butter in popular culture to reflect its parent article. - DustFormsWords (talk) 04:24, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. I wasn't aware of the guns versus butter model before coming onto this article so I was going to say that that subject is pretty random, but...actually, the references are still random. It's just an incoherent, arbitrary list of mentions of guns and/or butter. Erpert (let's talk about it) 07:27, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete: nonsense, really. At first, I thought it was a pun based on a trivial intersection, but then found Guns versus butter model. That said, it's still a meaningless list. Normally I'd suggest a merger and redirection to the parent article, but there's nothing worth merging and value as a redirect is unlikely.  bahamut0013  words deeds 22:34, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
