Orff's Carmina Burana in popular culture

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The way to fix excessive trivia in articles is to prune it, not to split it out into articles which are entirely composed of trivia. I absolutely love Carmina Burana and can sing much of it fomr memory, and I grew up with the Old Spice advert, but this is still just a collection of cruft which got too big for the article and should have been hacked down to size.

 * Wikipedia delete !votes in popular culture. Sam Blacketer 11:06, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. All of these pop culture articles are cruft/useless trivia and should go. A culture section is fine in articles: as long as it doesn't get massively huge (as in the case of many Family Guy episode articles as one example). If it does get huge: condense it to only the most notable ones, don't branch it off into a new article. RobJ1981 11:12, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete in popular culture per precedent (see e.g. Articles for deletion/The Who in popular culture, Articles for deletion/Aerosmith in popular culture, Articles for deletion/Rush in popular culture 2, Articles for deletion/Semtex in popular culture, Articles for deletion/List of appearances of C96 in popular culture, Articles for deletion/Aleister Crowley in popular culture, Articles for deletion/IKEA in popular culture, Articles for deletion/References to Calvin and Hobbes) and per nom.

 * There are plenty of other precedents to keep. When mentioning these, please also mention the others so that it's not misleading.  -- Black Falcon 07:42, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Mentioning every single time it has occurred is not only impossible, it's not even useful. Just because it is true doesn't mean it should be in an encyclopedia. Also, there is no way to source most of the things in it. Pax:Vobiscum 12:13, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, per above and per I am sick and tired of unnecessary trivial articles Alf Photoman  13:49, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as an indiscriminate list and directory seeking to capture any appearance of the song ever. Otto4711 15:14, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I found it useful in researching the historyof the Carmina Burana 15:14, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:TRIV, but not as an indiscriminate collection of information (requires ridiculously broad interpretation of WP:NOT), a directory, "cruft" (pointless term that doesn't actually specify what's wrong with an article), "useless trivia" (a subjective opinion), or an inadequately represented "precedent". There was some originally some prose in the main article that was deleted for some reason.  I have re-added it so this article becomes mostly unnecessary.  -- Black Falcon 07:42, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment As the original author of the Carmina Burana (Orff) article, I can tell you that scarcely a day goes by without more people adding on to this Pop Culture list. It scarcely existed in the original article and look at it now. I've tried to cut it back several times even deleting most of it before, but it becomes a daunting dask. Everything is always uncited, and formatted differently, and it's hard to tell what's notable and what's not. Personally, I'd rather preserve the information in some form, but get it the hell out of the main article. At least, it'd be nice to set some kind of precedent with what to do with this information when it's actually in the article. MarkBuckles  (talk) 08:50, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
