Piccadilly Circus in popular culture

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Yet another article that violates WP:IPC, WP:GNG, WP:NLIST, WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:TRIVIA. The short prose section is poorly referenced and has WP:OR issues, and the list that follows has all the problems listed in my short explanation so far. Another bad case of TVtropism, also violating its own loose inclusion criteria ("The following list is of artistic works and film where Piccadilly Circus is either the central theme or a principal theme. -> "Used as an establishing shot of London during the morning rush hour in Rose, the inaugural episode of the revived Doctor Who TV show" or "Piccadilly Circus is mentioned in the Jethro Tull song Mother Goose."; where a quick glance at the lyrics confirms it's just a passing mention in a single line...).

 * Delete: Fails absolutely for all the reasons given. No more than an old-style collection of random miscellaneous references (passing references in many cases), that often aren't even about the subject – Piccadilly in London is not the same place as Piccadilly Circus. Once the trivia is eliminated the remaining useful information, if any, should be incorporated into the relevant articles. MichaelMaggs (talk) 13:38, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge back to the main article. I don't like this old one-two where people shunt off parts of a "popular culture" section to its own article, then put that up for deletion. It could be trimmed, though actually it is a very long way from complete. Johnbod (talk) 13:42, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete - The prose bits of this article are already present in the existing, decently filled out pop culture section on the main Piccadilly Circus article, and the remainder of this article is just non-notable, poorly sourced trivia that should not be on the main article, thus leaving no reason for a Merger.

 * Delete - Anything not trivial (and not already included) can be included in the main article. Llwyld (talk) 08:33, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: This list is a collection of trivia and unsourced original research. There is nothing salvageable here. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 22:18, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
