Terminator 2 in popular culture
AfDs for this article: 
 * – (View AfD) (View log)
 * Also nominating The Terminator (character): references in pop culture

Delete - these are directories of loosely associated topics. The listed items have nothing in common beyond a reference of greater or lesser substance to the film or the character. The lists tell us nothing about the film, the character, the fiction from which the references are drawn, how they relate to one another or the world around us. To answer the inevitable merge suggestion, I strongly oppose merging any of this information into any other article about the film or the character. It is a laundry list trivia dump on its own and would be no better cluttering up any other articles. Otto4711 17:17, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Terminate 'er, too as a highly useless trivia list of WP:TRIVIA and loosely associated stuff. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 17:41, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep or merge, because article concerns the significant cultural impact of a major blockbuster film that has inspired everything from video games to amusement park attractions (at Universal Studios). Plus, a list of this nature is convenient for anyone doing research on how great of influence a given film series can have.

 * Delete. There may be something to be said about the impact of "I'll Be Back", as it is a catchphrase that has earned significant currency in modern culture, however it's the sort of thing that is better suited to a small section in Terminator (character).  ɑʀкʏɑɴ 18:13, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. Or in the I'll be back. article (which is misnamed, it should be I'll be back). Crazysuit 03:35, 24 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete as per another trivia-filled article.--JForget 23:22, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and do not categorize or recreate. In contrast to my other suggestions for categorization, this article does not deal with a subject that has had a notable impact on society. CaveatLectorTalk 01:15, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Indiscriminate trivia. Crazysuit 03:35, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Get. Out. (AKA delete).  One of the poorest popcul articles I've seen, certainly not encyclopedic. Lugnuts 07:21, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete None of these sets of rough notes can ever become a encyclopedia article. Golfcam 17:40, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
