[edit] Monoliths in popular culture

Monoliths in popular culture (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

The title says it all, really. Appearantly the article attempts to list different monoliths that can be seen in popular work. As of now, it deals mainly with the monoliths from Space Oddysey. Appears to be original research, has no references and has been tagged for these shortcomings for about a month Dr bab 12:22, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete only if merged back to monolith, else keep. This was apparently broken out of the article in chief in January as part of the "popular culture" pogrom; see Talk:Monolith. Since the 2001: A Space Odyssey monolith is surely worthy of mention in the article in chief whether there is a separate popular culture monolith article or not, and this deals almost exclusively with that monolith, it should be moved back. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:35, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, no need to merge to monolith. This article is almost exclusively about The Monolith and not monoliths in general, and that monolith has its own article. At best, replace the "see also" link to this article with one to The Monolith. Arkyan • ^(talk) 15:44, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

• Comment. FWIW, the text now here reads better, to me, than the text that is at The Monolith. At minimum, the see also link should indicate what The Monolith is about; it is not obvious from the title that The Monolith is about the 2001 monolith. In that case, perhaps the relevant majority of this article should move to either The Monolith or Monolith (2001: A Space Odyssey), the see-also link pointed to that one, and The Monolith redirected there. - Smerdis of Tlön 18:50, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete with no merger - no need for this article to exist, no need for the information in it to be merged anywhere. The article is largely serving as a disambiguation page for things named "Monolith." There is a Monolith (disambiguation) page already so those items in this article with articles of their own can be entered there. Otto4711 19:39, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete; This seems like it's a fork of List of cultural references to 2001: A Space Odyssey, which is huge. Pufnstuf 05:56, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
