Pancor Jackhammer in Popular Culture

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

It's a list of pop culture, primarily video game appearances, tied together with unsourced assertions about why it's so popular. Though such pages are often steam valves for the main article, it's a poor practice and an invitation to crufty, ill-supported fan assertions. A previous discussion at Articles for deletion/M1911 in popular culture resulted in a categorical "delete all" on "Gun X in Popular Culture" articles Mmx1 (talk) 04:49, 19 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete: It is Original Research with no sources to back it up. - Rjd0060 (talk) 05:01, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - indiscriminate list and directory of loosely associated items. The listed things have nothing in common past the presence of a representation of a particular gun and the presence of a gun does not unite the listed items. "This gun is in it" is not a theme.

 * Delete - pop culture lists are bad. --Philip Laurence (talk) 09:42, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - It has not influenced pop culture, but rather it is perhaps a part of pop culture. --Evb-wiki (talk) 13:09, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and Delete There is already a primary article looking at the shotgun. If not OR, put detail in main article and delete this waste of sources. scope_creep (talk) 19:22, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, but add more references. Articles like this one help demonstrate the influence of an item and are naturally encyclopedic.  As this particular article is short, I would not be opposed to a merge and redirect without deleting as well.  Best, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 17:00, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge This is a short list, and the main article is also fairly short--there does not seem to be any real reason for more than one article. DGG (talk) 19:14, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Mergism in popular culture From the top of the Noir York City it looked like the night of In Popular Culture articles seemed to continue to the end of eternity. The memories of engaging in the eternal chilled discussions on their relevance... But I refused to give in. I decided the article could be crunched into a few paragraphs. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 22:50, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into main Jackhammer article and wait a bit to see if the Rescue Squad can find sources for it all. With only a handful ever produced, the pop culture refs are the only notable thing about this gun. Moyabrit (talk) 11:35, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
