Deletion of New York City Subway in popular culture

Comment: Even though many of the entries here are true, they are unverifiable and pure . We can easily create a new section on the main article called "In Popular Culture" where we list only well-known featuring of the subway (i.e. the entire film, show, or song is centered around the system). This includes The Taking of Pelham 123, The French Connection, and Take the A Train. All the other entries referring to music videos, TV shows, and others that only show quick passing subway scenes should be removed (e.g. Macy Gray's I Try video, World Trade Center (film), Saving Face, and Futurama's The Luck of Fryrish) because the system is not the primary focus and thus, no one cares about them. Almost every movie, show, and video shot in NYC will feature the subway. Does that make them notable to mention here? No

Comment: This article was http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=New_York_City_Subway&diff=99641819&oldid=99641645 split from New York City Subway in January 2007, and has grown since then, so it wouldn't make sense to merge it back in. And this list isn't ; that guideline is about "trivia sections" full of unintegrated miscellaneous facts, whereas this is a perfectly legitimate |"in popular culture" article

Comment: Violates , in that the article is not ''based'' on independent, third-party sources. Basing the article on independent, third-party sources is what helps ensure that we do not stray into  territory. If the article were indeed compliant with , we would be easily able to demonstrate that reliable sources had found at least the majority of these facts to be relevant and important when considering the portrayal of the New York City Subway in popular culture. Instead, the article is a simple laundry-list of facts. Each individual fact may be verifiable (as  does permit verification of individual facts through primary sources), but the collection of those facts into a representation of "''this is what it's important to know about the portrayal of the New York City Subway in popular culture''" cannot be verified.&mdash

Comment: The nomination misunderstands  which does not seem to have been read.  The nomination seems to be suggesting merger into another article and that would not require deletion
