This is likely an important social topic that could be written up in prose. What we get is poorly referenced list of random works featuring homelessness. This fails MOS:TRIVIA, WP:IPC, WP:INDISCRIMINATE, WP:NOTTVTROPES, and so on. While this could be redirected to Homelessness#Popular_culture, that subsection has the same problems and should likely disappear in its current form anyway. The only salvageable part of the aricle is the short prose section "Depictions of homelessness", which I'd suggest is used to replace the current content at Homelessness#Popular_culture. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:59, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Give "Depictions of homelessness" a new home per nom; delete the remainder. (Disclaimer: A book of mine featuring a homeless character as a semi-protagonist is currently in intermittent development.) --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 23:14, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Give the soon-to-be homeless prose shelter in the Popular culture section per nom and delete the random sampling of depictions as well as such profound nuggets of wisdom as "The homeless are frequently divided as either protagonists or antagonists."

Merge the prose portion to Homelessness per nom. No objection to recreation if enough sourced prose content can be added to make a WP:SIZESPLIT necessary. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 01:18, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge the first two paragraphs to main article. Otherwise we are not an exhaustive list database of depictions of common thing that appears a lot in popular media. And no, not even Wikipedia:TVTROPES is that either (see their page “people sit on chairs”). Dronebogus (talk) 23:26, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
