Comment: The concept of genies in popular culture are likely a notable concept, and the sources mentioned by Andrew and Daranios show that.  However, this massive list would basically need to be completely rewritten from scratch to even begin to have an actual valid article on the topic.  The entries here, almost all of which are completely unsourced, run the gamut from "the word genie was mentioned in this song" to original research like "this character looks like a genie" to completely ridiculous entries like "there is a character ''named'' Genie in this thing" and random statements that seem to have nothing to do with the topic.  Not to mention entire sections on Ifrits and Marids which, not only are debatable would actually count as "Genies" in the actual folklore, but already ''have'' Ifrit#In_fiction|their own Marid#In modern fantasy genres|articles with the relevant pop culture sections included.   is not an actual policy, but considering that there is basically nothing in the current iteration of this article that is actually usable in any kind of rework, is it really worth keeping this when it would actually be ''easier'' to create a new article on the topic from scratch than trying to fix ''this

Comment: Pop culture trivia, delete per nom. It's not a 'drive by rant' and "vague wave" of being  if 99% of the article is entries along the lines of "In the Game Boy Advance game Mega Man: Battle Network 3 White Version, one of the Navis you must fight is MistMan.EXE, whose appearance is that of a genie. His weak spot is his lamp, and he is shown to have the power to summon souls and even release poisonous mist". Even if all of the unsourced trivial entries were removed, the overarching concept of 'Genies in popular culture' not being notable enough for a standalone article is the core problem, it would be more apt to merge pertinant examples into the main article if proper sources were found for them, of which there are currently none
