Talk:Cataclysm

Untitled

"As with many words of apocalyptic Biblical resonance, the adoption of cataclysm for features of manufactured pop culture in order to evoke an atmosphere of doom may provoke unintentional hilarity." A bit like nitrous oxide then...

Does nitrous oxide evoke an atmosphere of doom....?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yugyug (talk • contribs) 23:43, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pop culture

Since we have already deleted multiple list of the form "X in popular culture", I have removed here the long list that had no encyclopedic value. If any "Cataclysm" is significant enough, it will be described in a separate article, reachable from the disambiguation page. Pascal.Tesson 16:54, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Woa what kind of a fail article is this? 213.51.226.78 (talk) 20:15, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the pop culture section. Mainly because, as far as I can tell, none of those books, games or comics actually deal with the phenomena in any way meaningful to an encyclopaedic article. I think there would be value in referencing books which do discuss cataclysm though and including their main points within the text of the article, rather than in a list. Jared Diamond's Collapse might be an example, or perhaps one of the various books on Pompeii/Vesuvius. +|||||||||||||||||||||||||+ (talk) 23:49, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
