Revision as of 05:50, 9 September 2007
Howard Hughes in Popular Culture
- Howard Hughes in Popular Culture (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
Delete - similar to the deleted list for Bill Gates. The entire second section on fictional characters who supposedly may have been in some way fashioned on Hughes is original research and the third section on references in songs is trivia. The only worthwhile portion is the section on portrayals of Hughes on film and I have added that information to Howard Hughes. This is unsupportable as a separate article and should be deleted.

- Delete Well seeing how you have merged the relevant parts, just redirect --Childzy ¤ Talk 22:25, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- I am tempted to say keep right off the bat, because the article is incredibly well-referenced, perhaps the best I've seen in terms of quantity of references for one of these kinds of articles brought up here lately. With that said, I also would not oppose a merge and redirect without deleting to Howard_Hughes#Popular_culture. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 23:23, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- Delete I see original research in all these articles. How do I know Howard Hughes was really mentioned in the Banana Splits, or some other foolishness? Unless every entry has a citation to a secondary source, I can't check many of these. MarkBul 23:39, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- Keep As Roi notes, it is well-referenced, and Hughes remains a legendary figure, more than 30 years after his death and more than 50 after his last public appearance. Maybe it's that he was a billionaire imprisoned in his own germ-free world, but The Aviator is only the most recent treatment of this unusual historical icon. Mandsford 00:02, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
- And The Aviator, along with the other filmed representations of Hughes, are in his article. The legendariness of Hughes is irrelevant, since his legendariness (or in Wiki-speak, notability) is not inherited by every song that mentions his name and every fictional character that, without anything even approaching a source (so where you're getting the idea this is well-referenced is a mystery), some editor has decided bears some resemblance to Hughes.

- Keep per Roi. Artw 04:53, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
- Delete as most of these are trivial/one line mentions. Merge the major ones with the main article Corpx 05:23, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
