Not sure why this is a separate article from the main George McGovern page. Very few references and is mostly trivia. Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 03:07, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with his page Couldn't agree with you more. Add a section to his page. Doesn't need its own MaskedSinger (talk) 08:35, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And so the same old unwanted "in popular culture" cycle progresses. Lather. Rinse. Repeat-Repeat-Repeat. Uncle G (talk) 08:51, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, don't merge. I created this spinoff many years ago because I was tired of this kind of stuff populating the main article that I was working on getting to the GA level. Hopefully there is less of that kind of editing regarding the subject now than there was then. Anything worth mentioning, such as his hosting SNL, is already included in the narrative text of the main article. In other words, there is no reason for creating an "In popular culture" section in the main article. Wasted Time R (talk) 11:31, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Per Wasted Time R. This reads like a user sub page or sandbox, with the author making a list of various subjects. Scant references. — Maile (talk) 14:05, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
