The Moonlight Sonata in popular culture
AfDs for this article: 
 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Contrary to the title, this article is little more than a list of times that an exceedingly popular musical motif has been played. A list of performances for a musical work, especially one of this level of popularity, is simply unreasonable.

The previous nomination was littered with poor arguments ("I'm fine with having pop-culture references", "Why to delete teh information"), with no response to the fundamental problem that the significance of the appearance of The Moonlight Sonata is utterly uncited for all of them. --Eyrian 20:11, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete All "in popular culture" articles should be deleted. They are just messy notes. Golfcam 21:23, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --Malcolmxl5 21:54, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete More trivia crap without sources.--JForget 22:46, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Trim Heavily and merge back I am fine with having 'in Popular Culture' sections and pages, but they really need to be about the effect that such things have on popular culture, and not just lists; so the information about 'Because' is actually interesting and relevant, but that it was used on the Garfield animated show is not. About 10 things on this incredibly long list are actually notable. --Thespian 23:49, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Support cleanup and merge.  Much of the content is informative.  Cricket02 04:40, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
