References in Samurai Jack

Second nomination. Cruft. Essentially just a trivia page. Any actually useful information should be moved to the Samurai Jack article or the individual episode articles. Chris Griswold 04:03, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as original research. -- Koffieyahoo 04:45, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge or Delete. Could Merge it into each individual episode, but I honestly don't expect anyone to do that. tmopkisn ^tlka 05:39, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete--Peta 06:38, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to Samurai Jack. As far as I can tell, these aren't references to individual episodes, so it's less work than it could be. fuzzy510 07:21, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Err, each heading represents a different episode, hence the links. tmopkisn ^tlka 09:18, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Did you actually bother to click, or even read, those links? Each heading refers to a different pop culture item that the show refers to. "Errol Flynn", "Japanese folklore & mythology" and "Powerpuff Girls" are pretty odd episode titles, no? --fuzzy510 07:33, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
      • Under nearly every heading it says the episode in which referenced the heading. Jack 10:51, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. The main SJ article is already too long, and while many of the references are OR, quite a few are not (Lone Wolf and Cub, Japanese folklore & mythology, Star Wars to name a few off the top of my head). IMO, the article perhaps needs to be renamed/moved to an "influences of Samurai Jack" or somesuch and merged with the same subsection of the main SJ article. Virogtheconq 07:40, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to respective episodes as trivia entries, redirect to Samurai Jack. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 07:46, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge As per wwwwolf, also we could remove the original research at the same time. Jack 10:51, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletions. -- ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 21:37, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per above comments. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 21:37, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I would usually say merge, but this is exceptionally trivial. --Kunzite 23:54, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Merging would be acceptable, but "trivia" sections are already cruft-magnets; they are not something we want to encourage. — Haeleth Talk 21:25, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NOR, WP:RS, WP:V etc. --Wine Guy Talk 00:27, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep or Merge into each episode in a trivia section. - Wickning1 14:41, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, because mere trivia isn't encyclopedic and therefore this trivia doesn't merit being merged anywhere. -- Hoary 07:56, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
