List of pop culture references in Family Guy

An unusually crappy nomination from me, but here goes: A clear case of WP:NOT indiscriminate collector of information.

I dunno. For most other series, sure. But the random references have always been a big part of Family Guy's humor. I don't see it as being any that much less important than a listing of the characters. That said, there's generally an area for the references made in the induvidal episode entries. - SAMAS

Delete per nom. This is different from a list of characters. A list of characters is finite and definable. A list of "pop culture references" is open to interpretation and therefore inherently POV. It's impossible to define what makes up a pop culture refenece. Crunch 05:04, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Potentially endless and also not encyclopedic. I also don't know if there is any other "List of pop culture references in..." deals "List of pop-culture references in the Simpsons", "List of pop culture references in Futurama, "List of pop culture references in Mystery Science Theater 3000", etc all get nothing.--T.

That said a list of titles that reference television or literature titles could maybe be doable. In least in that titles are more finite and definite of a thing.--T. Anthony 05:49, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd reckon that there's somewhere this could be merged. Delete if not.--Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 10:07, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. I started this page last night, while in an altered state of conciousness, and now I see that the page is not really appropriate. I just thought it would've been fun. I apologize.

Don't feel too bad. There are like a dozen lists related to the Simpsons so if you ever want to try again maybe you'll be able to do a list relating to this show that's easier to manage.--T. Anthony 15:17, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete - Creator himself gives up on the page, also this would be better dealt with in individual artices/sections summarizing each episode. Cyde Weys _vote^talk 15:23, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Does not qualify as a speedy, as other people than the creator have already contributed to the article. Turnstep 16:33, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There are better places for everything listed here on other FG articles. This list would be exceptionally unmaintainable, since FG is essentially a show that is built on a foundation of pop culture references and allusions. Youngamerican 15:47, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, simply because there is a far more complete list on the actual Family Guy page. Grandmasterka 21:02, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
