The result was delete. Yes, the two rules that Otto4711 cited do apply, in the form of being core policy. No compelling arguments refuted the delete statement, so the consensus sits to delete this.  Daniel  09:57, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Popular culture references to Deep Throat

 * – (View AfD) (View log)


 * Delete - WIkipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information and Wikipedia is not a directory of loosely-associated topics. The article seeks to capture any mention of the words "Deep Throat" or phrases similar to it like "Sore Throat" or "Deep Bone" regardless of the importance of the reference to the fictional item from which it's drawn or the real world. The listed items have nothing in common with each other beyond referring to "Deep Throat" in some fashion. Otto4711 22:32, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge - Into the Deep Throat article, where it would be of more use.  Cool Blue  talk to me 22:48, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The contents were forked off from the Deep Throat article, presumably because the editors there didn't want this garbage cluttering up that article. Unfortunately they did this instead of just getting rid of it like they should have. Otto4711 00:47, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - No justification from wikipedia policy. Neither of those rules cited by Otto4711 apply. Wikipedia has major problems in other areas, go fix something that is actually a problem instead of creating problems where there are none.T-1 23:48, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - The list is no more or less significant than all other "popular culture references to..." lists. They are a standard part of the article template, and spitting them off when they become too big is just fine by me.DewiMorgan 17:35, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a compelling argument, and many "...in popular culture" articles have been nominated and deleted. Otto4711 00:11, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
