Talk:Stephen King in popular culture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article was nominated for deletion on 2007 October 3. The result of the discussion was No consensus. |
This article was created to cease the endlessly growing "Popular culture" section of the Stephen King main article. If editors have a burning urge to contribute to the impossible-to-complete cataloging of King references on TV, film, books, comics, music, etc., this is the place to do it.
When adding television program references, please try to find the specific episode for thorough and useful citation.
When adding printed references, try to cite sources in the usual manner.
Please do not add King's film and telefilm cameo apperances in adaptations of his work, as they do not fall in the intended parameters of this article. Chris Stangl 03:04, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Saturday Night Live
King was portrayed in a Saturday Night Live "Weekend Update" skit during the 1980's, I believe, where the overall joke was about his prolificity as an author. During the "interview," he was constantly typing, and at the end of the interview when he was asked what his latest book was about, he didn't know until he read the sheet he was working on. Anyone have any further details about this? Postdlf 20:30, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Reference in K-9??
I think this one might not bee a King reference at all. Telling the dog he will end up in the Pet Cemetary (with a C) does not really reference the book. CodeCarpenter 19:30, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Citations
Aren't just about all entries here in need of citations? Quite a few seem like original research. BrianO 22:52, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Revert merge.
I am reverting the removal of content and redirect that was place here without prior discussion. It may or may not be appropriate--let's talk about it--we cannot do it without consensus. DGG (talk) 14:34, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

- as it was not discussed, but just rolled back, I reverted again. Perhaps the article should be protected. Removal of content without discussion is vandalism. DGG (talk) 00:21, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- Reverting to your personal favorite personal is considered vandalism in my eyes. It's no secret you are anti-deletion of pop culture articles. Removing the prod shouldn't have happened in the first place. I don't see that you are a regular editor of the article, which leads me to believe you stalked me by going through my edit history to find the article. Also, talk pages don't control articles, so being bold by redirecting isn't a problem here. The Stephen King article has a decent paragraph to explain pop culture. A prose is much better than a catchall list of every little mention (many of which show no notability). RobJ1981 05:59, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
