Yeah, this exists. And fails WP:GNG, WP:OR, WP:IPC and WP:NLIST. Most prose content is unreferenced and likely original research, and then we have the usual list of works that mention EMP. Or, lightning, because this is what the lead opens with... Anyway, looking at the history ( first version, tagged shortly with notability) it is clear this was an ORish essay that over time started accumulated WP:TRIVIA-style list.

I created this article because of a clear, important and longstanding need for such an article. The main benefit of this article will be to keep fictional references to electromagnetic pulse from getting in to the main scientific article on Electromagnetic pulse. There needs to be a clear separation between the scientific and technical aspects of electromagnetic pulse and the very large amounts of fictional and popular culture references to electromagnetic pulse. The separation of the real and fictional aspects of this important phenomenon has been very difficult in Wikipedia in recent times.TompaDompa ( talk) 05:13, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
Moving bad content into a separate standalone article does not get rid of the bad content; wanting to keep the main article "clean" is not a valid reason for having an article like this one. If editors add examples to the main Electromagnetic pulse/ Nuclear electromagnetic pulse article based on primary sources (or more likely no sources whatsoever), the proper course of action is to remove those examples per MOS:POPCULT.I would have no objection to recreating this as a proper, encyclopaedic prose article about the topic—as was done for WP:Articles for deletion/Far future in fiction—in the event that sources that would allow us to do that while abiding by MOS:POPCULT emerge. None of the current content would be of any use for that, however, so there's no point in retaining this version. TompaDompa ( talk) 15:57, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
