One World Trade Center in popular culture

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Nearly every entry on this list is incredibly trivial, amounting to "A shot was filmed in NYC and One WTC was in the background." There's only two secondary sources, and a quick google isn't really turning anything else up. Mcrsftdog (talk) 23:50, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Merge, and probably trim heavily while doing so, to World Trade Center in popular culture (probably as a separate section). I don't really see a reason why the two should be separate as the only significance of this is that it's the World Trade Center. Gnomingstuff (talk) 03:17, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete per WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:GNG. There's no referenced discussion of this building in popular culture because the topic is not notable and the sources don't exist to provide in-depth coverage - instead we just have a list of trivial mentions, the sort of list that could be compiled for any physical thing that has ever appeared in the background in film or television: the Atlantic ocean, the Pseudotsuga menziesii tree, or Nexen-branded car tires.

 * Merge/redirect to World Trade Center in popular culture per Deletion policy and as a separate section per Gnomingstuff. The book notes (my bolding): "You can't embark on a cinematic tour of New York City without taking a moment to acknowledge the Twin Towers. From when they opened on April 4, 1973, to when they fell in the horrific violence of September 11, 2001, they were a dramatic punctuation mark to the New York City skyline that conveyoed power and wealth—and a sense that we really could touch the sky. It'll take years, if not decades, for the new skyscraper that sits nearby, One World Trade Center, to be featured in as many films as its two predecessors." After the merge, One World Trade Center in popular culture can be spun out from World Trade Center in popular culture once there is enough coverage and material to support a separate article.
