 * Keep, per topic notability of the United Nations. As one of the iconic buildings and organizations in civilization its use in popular culture is immediately recognizable. It's a fine and interesting popular culture page which enhances the understanding of the topic and its place in history. The main existing problem is that the television and literature sections need some editorial trimming and defined years and chronological reordering, although that's unrelated to this nom.

 * Oh dear god, KEEP! The United Nations as an institution is simply iconic. When a movie shows the UN building and then pans away, it instantly places the movie viewer in time and space. When an author has their character at the UN, it shows the gravity and globalness of the story - instantly. Some individual items may be cruft, but the topic and use of the UN in pop culture is inherently notable. SchmuckyTheCat (talk) 06:44, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, plenty of notable examples to merit this as a WP:SPLIT from the parent article, this and that are far too long to be merged back together. postdlf (talk) 15:30, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:GNG - plenty of sources to show it's influenced TV, film, and novels. Some of the cruft needs to be removed, but nothing that ordinary editing can't find and fix. Bearian (talk) 01:51, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
