Los Angeles in popular culture

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Garden variety "X in popular culture" article cataloging even the most trivial mentions of Los Angeles. No sourcing, no valid content, just a list of trivia. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 08:54, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep -and expand, it seems to only skim the surface of L.A. in pop-culture. C. W. Gilmore (talk) 10:58, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep AfD is not cleanup.   The nomination is solely on the basis of current quality, not on the topic itself. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:28, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep It might be better with the more prominent examples (by whatever standard) converted to prose, but it's a legitimate subject for a page. The items are bluelinked, and the basic claim "this piece of media portrays LA" is straightforward enough that it can be sourced by the linked articles. (I mean, the source for "Blade Runner is set in LA" is Blade Runner itself.) So, it's not an article anyone should be proud of, but it doesn't merit deletion, either. I made a start on cleaning it up. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 21:54, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. There is a lot more that can be said about the way L.A. is shown in popular culture. First of all, that it is often used due its distinctive landmarks, culture, and urban concentration.  - WPGA2345 -  ☛  05:34, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: I think certain information on popular culture in Los Angeles is notable, while some of the irrelevant topics can be removed by discussions, and some of the significant footnote topics can be expanded by citing the sources at any time.
