Samson in popular culture

Non-notable trivial dumping ground for anything related (or closely related) to Samson. RobJ1981 (talk) 19:40, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. Appearances of a notable biblical character in notable cultural works should be described.  There is ample space for an encyclopedic article to develop from this one by giving a history of media portrayals of the character and noting any significant influences the character has had on other cultural works.  Certainly, a lot of material can be trimmed from here (e.g., the song with three lines that reference Samson, and the "new metalcore band") but there is a core that should be retained.

 * Merge with Samson, surely.-- S Marshall  Talk / Cont  21:38, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Cull it and merge it to Cultural references to Samson. There are things here that need keeping.  There is trivia here that needs to go.  There is an existing article for cultural refereces, why does it ALSO need a pop culture article? Miami33139 (talk) 21:57, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete this indiscriminate trivia. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 22:47, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge With Cultural references to Samson. Pastor Theo (talk) 00:17, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge with Cultural references to Samson. There is not room for three articles - this one, [Samson and Cultural references to Samson. I think it overlaps most strongly with Cultural references to Samson so merge there. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  00:30, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge anything useful into Cultural references to Samson. It's a good topic, since Samson has appeared in many books, movies, etc, but we just need a single article. Zagalejo^^^ 05:00, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Cultural references to Samson, as I see no clear division between the topics of these two articles. Or is the Cultural references to Samson article only supposed to cover "unpopular" culture? DHowell (talk) 02:19, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
