Eurovision Song Contest in popular culture[edit]

Non-notable trivial mentions aren't a useful or encyclopedic article. RobJ1981 17:24, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[]

Delete A list of passing mentions or references is not enough to constitute a decent "in popular culture" article. The contents listed are not based significantly on the main subject, but are instead trivial references and allusions. Calgary 17:45, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[]

Keep, because these references show the extent of influence and notability of the contest. Perhaps revising it in a manner that better explains the value of the article and that has more text than just a list would help, as well a reference section for each item.

Weak delete. It's interesting, but trivial, and unencyclopedic. Should an encyclopedia contain lists of references to things in popular culture? It's information, which can be interesting, but it may violate WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE.-h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 17:58, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[]

Delete for not telling us anything about the Eurovision Song Contest in popular culture, but just listing examples. What's next, Popular culture in popular culture? --Huon 18:02, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[]

I normally try to defend these pop-culture pages, but I'm afraid I can't see anything to defend here. MarkinBoston is right to say that the subject is already a pop-culture phenomenon, so a pop-culture fork of it is pretty absurd. No vote from me, but surely the creators or anyone with a desire to defend this page can merge anything useful into the main article before this closes? AndyJones 19:57, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[]

Delete, trivial mentions that violate WP:NOT#TRIVIA. --Eyrian 22:28, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Delete since it's pretty much a list of the form "In [film], [character] says "Eurovision"", which really isn't particularly encyclopedic or pop-cultural. I'm also impressed with the argument that ESC is already pop culture, which is quite true. There may be one or two very significant things in this list which could be merged somewhere, but most of this really isn't it. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 00:56, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[]

Delete I can't support this one either, because I cannot see the difference between what should be covered here and what should be in the main article.DGG (talk) 05:30, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[]
