Smuggling in fiction

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

We recently deleted the "List of media portraying drug smuggling". While this is not titled "a list of", it is de facto a POVFORK with just a tad wider scope and all the same problems.

 * Delete as a WP:CONTENTFORK of already deleted material. Article has the same problems of lacking any reliable third-party sources, this failing WP:OR, WP:GNG, and WP:NOT. Jontesta (talk) 18:20, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete As a topic this seems way too broad for an encyclopedia article. BuySomeApples (talk) 21:21, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per the nomination and also as failing WP:NOTTRIVIA. Without reliable sources showing how this is a notable topic, or showing how the books in question feature this prominently and not just passing mentions, this is nothing more than trivia which is unsuited to an encyclopedia.

 * Delete as fancruft. Shashank5988 (talk) 18:44, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete as failing WP:LISTN and WP:GNG due to inadequate sources. Seems to duplicate the unaddressed issues of a similar deleted article. Shooterwalker (talk) 12:44, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
