References to torture in popular culture

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. This article is written like a personal essay. Furthermore, no references are provided. Like many "in popular culture" entries: not verifiable and mostly trivial. Tomj 22:48, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Let it suffer before it dies. Right now, this is an essay, and poorly written at that - has a movie ever asked you to "emphasise with the victim"??? ;-) Unless someone is able to upgrade it to "more or less decent" in the next few days, my vote is delete per WP:OR, WP:NN and WP:TRIVIA. --Targeman 23:57, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Chinese Water Delete it. Complete OR.  Delete per the rules.Ravenmasterq 00:02, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per trivial. And nonencyclopedic. Have mercy and do it quickly, or add a self-reference to this article on Wikipedia as "torture in popular culture," then delete. --Evb-wiki 01:33, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Reads like someone's thesis, the author can publish on his personal website, but certainly not here.--Kylohk 02:08, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as it stands; calling it a thesis is a little much--its an elementary school paper at the most. We need something to call this that fits better than OR--everything is supportable, but there isnt enough content to do the subject justice. I have no idea why it was titled in p. c.,DGG (talk) 04:49, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete It reminds me of destructive creativity which also read like a school report on the subject; using sourced claims to prove a concept or idea. Anynobody 09:00, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. "The examination of the portrayal of torture in popular culture is not just an exercise in trivia." College essay, horribly written, OR, unsourced, etc. María ( críticame ) 13:18, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Per Maria. True, very true. Bulldog123 19:26, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Casperonline 20:49, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Apparently about 24 rather than torture. Mandsford 23:29, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete even the appearance in Star Trek, which at WP has the status accorded the Virgin Mary in Rome, cannot save this one. Carlossuarez46 18:17, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment High five on that one, C.S.!Mandsford 14:10, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
