  • Delete because the criteria is ridiculously vague and unencyclopedic. Just because films have the protagonists as teachers does not mean that there is a connection worth noting. This article is purely original research that could do a much better example recreated in the future as a prose article using independent, secondary sources providing significant coverage of the prominence of teachers' roles in popular culture. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 15:23, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
