Street Fighter in popular culture

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

New article; it's literally just a list of trivia forked from a trivia section in Street Fighter. No indication is made as to why this video game series has had such a major impact on popular culture that every mention of it in other forms of media should be listed. Originally redirected it back to the parent article, but author reverted so moving to here. -- Pres N  16:03, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - Its one giant violation of WP:TRIVIA/WP:GAMECRUFT. Notable examples could be mentioned in "Impact/Legacy" type sections of the series, or respective game, articles. But this by itself isn't appropriate for Wikipedia. Sergecross73   msg me  16:37, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per WP:POPCULTURE, the references are trivia, as many of the sources are dubious and the reference-r did not acknowledge the references. The proper response would've been to cull the trivia from the list, not split it off.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 21:43, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per Manual of Style/Trivia sections, this type of trivia appears to be considered acceptable. All of the trivia is also referenced by reliable third party sources. Because Street Fighter is most likely to be referenced in numerous media in the future, it's understandable for a page of this nature to be continually expanding which is why I moved the minor section on the main Street Fighter article to it's own page. Perhaps a more suitable action would be to Rename to "List of popular culture references to Street Fighter". Also other articles which exist that are in the same style as this one are List of cultural references to A Clockwork Orange and Cthulhu Mythos in popular culture, the latter having been nominated for deletion multiple times for the same reason as this one with the result always being "keep". Plus, this deletion nomination appears to be WP:ITSCRUFT.

 * Please be aware of WP:OSE. Especially considering the examples of "precedent" you list have a rough history of "delete" and "no consensus" at AFD, and have all sorts of improvement tags pointing out their shortcomings. Not exactly the type of stuff we're striving for here. Also, renaming does nothing to address the concerns here. Sergecross73   msg me  03:42, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Trivial information at best. Can't imagine this ever being properly sourced, with notable and significant sources discussing the cultural impact of Street Fighter. We can't expect it to become that either. soetermans . ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 15:48, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per above delete votes. I'd also note that said MOS:POPCULT page noted in the above Keep vote advises that this content be worked into the main article content or as a section within the main article. ZettaComposer (talk) 17:52, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - This article is purely WP:GAMECRUFT. TheDeviantPro (talk) 09:36, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:TRIVIA, WP:FANCRUFT, WP:GAMECRUFT. A list of insignificant references doesn't belong on an encyclopedia. --The1337gamer (talk) 10:10, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with TheDeviantPro and The1337gamer. The article is purely WP:GAMECRUFT. Antonioatrylia (talk) 21:54, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
