Scrabble references in popular culture

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete - an indiscriminate list and directory seeking to capture every appearance or mention of a particular board game in every medium regardless of how important or trivial the appearance is. Strongly oppose merging any of the content back to the Scrabble article. Otto4711 15:46, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I think we should announce in one week the formation of a new wiki, devoted exclusively to topics "in popular culture." That's where this article should go. YechielMan 20:12, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete WikiTrivia already exists, but it doesn't seem to have any articles. Croxley 01:27, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete this: but there are parts of this that definitely should be merged with the article in chief on Scrabble. At least the bits about The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Handmaid's Tale, and Rosemary's Baby should be in the main article.  - Smerdis of Tlön 12:02, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * You can't delete and merge. Doing so is contrary to GFDL. If you feel strongly about this, why not merge the bits you consider valid across to Scrabble? Then, this page can just be turned into a redirect. (No vote.) AndyJones 19:28, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I've gone and re-added the bits that I mentioned back into the article in chief on Scrabble. I rewrote them from scratch, so there shouldn't be any GFDL issues, and tried to explain why, in those particular allusions, Scrabble was an important plot point and not merely an appearance of the game. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:04, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
