Wayland Smith in popular culture

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Trivia collection, often with entries that use only the name. Unacceptable per WP:FIVE and WP:NOT. Users worried about the main article should know that I watch it and will keep it clean. Eyrian 18:47, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Casperonline 20:46, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - directory of loosely associated items combined with original research. "The character Waylon Smithers from the TV show The Simpsons may be named after the mythical figure." OR. "Weyland Smith is mentioned in Neil Gaiman's novel Stardust." Who cares? Get rid of it. Otto4711 21:24, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and mini-merge Mostly trivia and unsourced.--JForget 01:12, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. This figure is monumentally important as an archetype that has affected literature for the last thousand years. The article may need some work but should not be deleted. Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 03:00, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom; no notability asserted nor sourced. Carlossuarez46 20:46, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom; the editor was aware that this goes against policy, but does not defend himself here. (Of course a reference inside an article about for instance Waylon Smithers is very interesting.) /Pieter Kuiper 16:32, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
