The way I see it, some of the entries are sourced, but this reeks of being WP:INDISCRIMINATE. There's no need to jot down *every single* instance of Crockett and Tubbs being mentioned or parodied. Blake Gripling (talk) 08:21, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I'm not necessarily requesting this for deletion merely because I don't like it, and besides, a redirect to the main Miami Vice article may suffice. Blake Gripling (talk) 08:23, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect or Merge Pure trivia. Elements could be merged into the impact on popular culture section of the main article. Nwlaw63 (talk) 01:35, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect or Merge. Agree with above. If anything can be salvaged, stick it into the main article. Titanium Dragon (talk) 08:28, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Selective merge is OK, but don't delete the history of this page; this show really did have a major impact on popular culture, and there's sourced and sourceable content in this article that could be utilized to enhance the existing section of the main article. No need to make interested editors do the digging again. --Arxiloxos (talk) 01:07, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – An indiscriminate collection of trivia that yields no useful sum. This is just another house-of-cards "topic" that could (and should) be shrunk to a few lines at the bottom of the parent article. SteveStrummer (talk) 17:16, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
