New "pop culture" items added to this article must be of encyclopedic interest, and very reliably sourced, as discussed in WP:IPC. Note that The Flintstones and Happy Days (referred to in the "Other Uses" section of the article) were major long-running network TV shows (at a time when the 3 networks controlled nearly all viewers). The references to Grand Poobah in those shows were numerous and ongoing and involved the lead character of The Flintstones and a key supporting character in Happy Days. We cite WP:Reliable sources that clearly explain the importance of these references in these TV shows. I understand that a character in the web series Critical Role used the title or a similar one, but to satisfy WP:IPC we would need to cite very WP:Reliable sources in order to demonstrate that the reference was an important, ongoing part of the web series and, moreover, that the web series (which has a WP article is so appallingly badly written that the WP league of proofreaders refused to edit it and has a far lower viewership than the viewership of The Flintstones or Happy Days) is of encyclopedic interest to the readers of this article. -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:23, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
