Welsh mythology in the arts and popular culture

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

The topic may be notable, but what we have here is a 99% unreferenced (two footnotes) list of media in which Welsh mythology topics appeared in. This fails WP:OR/WP:V as a potential article, WP:IPC as well, and likely WP:LISTN and WP:GNG. For an example of how messy this is, note a bunch of examples of "media (novels, movies) in which characters have names based on Welsh mythos characters", where said media has no other connection to Welsh mythology (and where it's just some random editor's assumption that the name is indeed inspired by Welsh mythology and not some other use or is just a coincidence). It's like someone would populate the Slavic mythology in popular culture with lists of media in which characters have Slavic names...

 * Delete per nom - While the topic is potentially notable, this article is just a TV Tropes style listing of minor trivia that is vaguely related to Welsh mythology. There is no actual discussion on the topic, or any sourced material on it. As mentioned by the nom, a lot of these are not even true examples of the depiction of Welsh mythology in popular culture, and simply times that a character or location happened to share a name with something from Welsh mythology with no real relation to the subject beyond that.
