Iaido in popular culture[edit]

This is a list a videogames with characters that use the technique Iaido. It's not really popular culture, and I think this technique is common in martial arts based videogames so it's not notable enough for its own article. Plasticbottle 04:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I must disagree, video games are part of popular culture. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 10:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. you misunderstand, I didn't say they aren't part of popular culture, I meant the list doesn't represent popular culture, just a small aspect of it, which is videogames. So it's not "popular culture", if it was then it would include films, TV shows, books, etc, etc. Plasticbottle 02:31, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Unmaintainable list of useless trivia. The introductory part of the article is present in the main Iaido article. That is more than sufficient.Dr bab 12:35, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as yet another indiscriminate list of meaningless trivia. Otto4711 13:10, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete:Guys, the only reason I created this article was because it was almost bigger than the main Iaido article itself. (Ok maybe that THAT big but it was big enough). And video-game fans kept adding more on that section rather than on the martial art itself. I wanted to delete the entire section from Iaido, but I didnt dare since I guess someone would have cried havoc so I moved it here. I have no vested interest in this section other than keeping it OUT of the Iaido article. Fred26 20:25, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Can't possibly maintain this indiscriminate list. Realkyhick 03:32, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:OR. This article reads like they are observations made about sword/katana wielding VG characters with very little knowledge about the maritial art. How is it exactly that Link is practicising Laido? This article really doesn't have much to do with video games and really doesn't help the article on laido either. Its just another worthless "...in popular culutre" list. Mitaphane _?|! 03:46, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
