Comment: This article currently is in need of help, clarity and sourcing all of which can be accomplished through regular editing. The Mark (or number) of the Beast is well represented in popular culture and has books and lectures on the subject. Yes, the article needs work but that is no reason for deletion. Per  ''If you can fix the article through normal editing, then it is not a good candidate for AfD.'' Asa suggestion it would be helpful to organize instances where the number of the beast is used purposefully to exploit the religious connotations, simply for occult factor, to insight demonic ideas and even as parody. In one lecture I know the researcher cited what I think were accidental occurences so perhaps citing some high-profile accidental uses would be appropriate and comparing this use to how some hotels avoid having a 13th floor and maybe companies that have altered a label for the same cultural reasons

Comment: Massive |OR and a virtually infinite topic raising huge notability and POV issues any direction you turn. ... And if, as another editor suggested, it's a split-off from the original article, then instead of returning it to the original article there needs to be a synthesized discussion about the matter with a few particular examples. For instance "Sometimes used intentionally in popular culture, as in x and y, by producers seeking to garner additional publicity for their work. Some have suggested carries hidden messages or has actual religious significance; for example in these works, commentators A and B suggested that producers inserted intentionally, although that was disputed. Other times the very existence of the item has been disputed, as in the famous satanic grilled cheese." In other words, ''prose''. There's just no reason to list these things
