Muay Thai in popular culture[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Almost unsourced trivial mentions. Amounts to nothing more than "Work X said Muay Thai" without explaining how it's influenced popular culture. Dwanyewest (talk) 21:00, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, that's simply an incorrect description; this is not a list of works that merely mention the term "Muay Thai". In every item I saw on the list, Muay Thai is a major element of the work described, so these are pop culture works about Muay Thai in a substantive way. postdlf (talk) 04:08, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I don't see how this is significantly different from some of the trivia lists I've seen. I don't see any reasons why each of these things is notable. Astudent0 (talk) 16:44, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I'm not understanding what you mean by that, but most of the pop culture works listed have their own articles, or the listed items are elements of such a work. postdlf (talk) 18:21, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Question Can someone explain to me the purpose of these "... in popular culture" articles? Like Astudent0, I'm not really seeing how this differs significantly from trivia lists. This just seems to be a list of places where the subject is used/mentioned/commented on and I'm not seeing the notability. I understand how the individual items can be notable, but don't see how these lists pass notability since they are no sources specifically talking about the lists. Papaursa (talk) 01:10, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a navigational list, it's just couched in such a way to allow trivial information to be spooned in. Notability isn't the issue, it's whether the subject of the list is trivial or not and whether enough population exists to justify one. There shouldn't be any trivia, it should help anyone with an interest in 'X' find media related to that subject, which this list can do quite happily.

Delete I see nothing notable about this list. Papaursa (talk) 01:50, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep conclusion of "Merge to Muay Thai or Keep" I think it is better to keep so as not to overpopulate the content of the Muay Thai article. Nipsonanomhmata ^(Talk) 05:28, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I will develop information for everyone who interest Muaythai. --B20180 (talk) 06:36, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The name is wrong (list of muay thai media, or something to that effect would be better), the content could use some work, the basic principle is sound - this is a list of media strongly associated with 'X'. Provided that 'X' is not too obscure then the only problems are laying out the information properly and getting rid of any loosely connected media, both of which are editing issues.
