Wikipedia:"In popular culture" articles on Wikipedia: Category – WikiProject – Deletions – Stubs |
This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Popular culture. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at
WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at
WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Popular culture|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- Note that there are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove links to other discussions ( prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Popular culture.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Nominated by an IP user: Non-notable concept. Any references to this term I can find ultimately lead back to a single author, Katheryn Russell-Brown, showing that this concept has not reached the level of notability for an article. There are a handful of notes about her work on it, but the little I can find is fairly surface level and doesn't add the sort of analysis that would be required for building a well developed, neutral article. Moreover, the vast vast majority of the article is WP:OR/ WP:SYNTH, attempting to attribute documented cases to this concept, despite no other authors having done so. Strip that out, and also the "Concept" material which doesn't really discuss this as a concept, and this boils down to a single source. UtherSRG (talk) 23:01, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Crime, Ethnic groups, and Popular culture. UtherSRG (talk) 23:01, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Discrimination-related deletion discussions. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 00:22, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Comment @ Aquillion, Firefangledfeathers, Gumbear, Maxxhiato, Tulzscha, and 195.180.48.123: Pinging participants in a relevant talk page thread from March 2023 to February 2024, which is preserved at the talk page of this AfD. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 00:53, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Merge / delete. A few small parts are mergable - specifically, the parts of the concept section about Russel-Brown's writings can be merged to Katheryn Russell-Brown and / or The Color of Crime (1998 book); but the rest (the bulk of the article) ought to be deleted as WP:OR / WP:SYNTH. As an academic term it's real but is mostly just by one author and is better covered on that author's page; the rest of it is mostly just a list of whenever the media has used the words "hoax" and is original research / synthesis in the sense that it connects a bunch of things to a theory when most of them lack sources making that link. -- Aquillion ( talk) 03:32, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. This is a demonstrably real social phenomenon. Perhaps rename it "List of Racial Hoaxes"? religious hoax is also merely a list of notable religious hoaxes. Not sure why we'd treat the two differently.
- Also, after reviewing the AfD Discrimination nominations, need to make sure this isn't a larger effort towards viewpoint censorship. Gumbear ( talk) 12:49, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

- Zing Pop Culture ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD | edits since nomination)

Most of the sources are press releases or routine. A search in google news finds much the same. Fails WP:NCORP. LibStar ( talk) 06:07, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Companies, Popular culture, and Australia. LibStar ( talk) 06:07, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: Agree with nom. Fails WP:CORP, none of the sources establish notability. GMH Melbourne ( talk) 07:36, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, lack of notability with no sources to back up corporate claims. - Samoht27 ( talk) 13:33, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: Fails WP:CORP, no inherent or inherited notability. Spinifex&Sand ( talk) 02:49, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- If there is no independent notability this should Redirect to its parent company EB Games Australia. duffbeerforme ( talk) 05:38, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

I think this is a non-existent term and there are not many related reference materials in the article. Meets the criteria of Delete policy 6. Neologisms, it is recommended to delete. SU YIQI ( talk) 05:18, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Music, Popular culture, Internet, and China. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 06:18, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

- Delete. I suggested this to be deleted a few months back, saying sourcing is poor and article is confusing. Folks said 'sources exist in Chinese', without citing any or improving the article. At best I think we should move it to a draftspace or userspace if someone wants to work on this; otherwise, deleting this is no big loss, given how poorly written this is - it can be recreated from scratch if someone cares, with proper sources ( WP:TNT) later. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:16, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. I don't think anything has really changed since the last nomination. There's extensive sourcing at zh:春哥 which seems to be enough to meet GNG. As I said last time, the article could certainly use work, but it's an okay starting point and doesn't need TNT. — Mx. Granger ( talk · contribs) 23:30, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
