The Lion King in popular culture

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article is a directory of entries only loosely associated by the passing mention of The Lion King. It is essentially trivia, which should be avoided. Much of the content in the article is based on original research, and the existing sources only mention the appearance in passing, instead of providing significant coverage, per notability standards, to cover the topic.

 * Weak Delete I think maybe a handful of these may be relevant enough to hang onto, but then it wouldn't be enough to merit it's own wikipedia page.
 * Delete. Laundry list of every time a line or theme from the movie appears somewhere else. One or two of the "appearances" may be significant, but they are significant to their resident work, not to The Lion King. -- saberwyn 23:24, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - indiscriminate list of thing which loosely connect to the Lion King. A "cameo" is not a cultural reference -- it's a cameo, and trivia to boot.  --Haemo 23:29, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with the Lion King article--JForget 23:50, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. This trivia was removed from the Lion King article in January; no need to return it. None of it is notable enough to deserve a separate article. -- Charlene 05:35, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom & ample precedent; if there is anything worthwhile to merge to the article, it should already be there. Carlossuarez46 18:13, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
