Space Odyssey

[edit]

Wikipedia has a clear policy that if you DO have a popular culture section, then have everything backed up by secondary sources which establish the broader cultural significance of the pop culture section. See Wikipedia:"In popular culture" content. Enormous care was taken in the pop culture section of the article 2001: A Space Odyssey (film) to strictly comply with all of the guidelines, and dozens and dozens of attempted additions to the section were deleted for non-compliance. I and others feel that as is the section is in compliance with WP standards.--WickerGuy (talk) 19:15, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would only add that in the future, keep in mind that it's a good idea to discuss any large deletions like this on an article's talk page before implementing them. In fact, if you believe your edit was justified, you're welcome to present any arguments you'd like to make for it on 2001's talk page to see if there is consensus for such a change. It's much more fun to edit collaboratively rather than in a way some might perceive as confrontational. Shirtwaist 22:59, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
In particular discuss deletions if your large deletion has referenced sources. Blanking a section that is entirely unsourced usually flies a bit better and is cut more slack. Cheers,--WickerGuy (talk) 16:26, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is a 'dab' for disambiguation page, and all entries must have associated articles. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 17:08, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
