Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yale in popular culture
Here's another problem with "in popular culture" articles: they end up being America-centric, with extreme . Do we get to see "pop culture references to Yale" from ''Russian'' cartoons, or from ''Pakistani'' movies, or from ''Chinese'' TV shows? No. It ends up being a list of trivial references from trivial American mass media, most of which will be forgotten 5 years from now - unless the TV show goes into syndication, in which case it'll still die after 20 years. And in any case, you still won't have a third-party source asserting that the cartoon's/TV show's/movie's mention of Yale is '''''notable'''''. A "Cultural significance of Yale" article would probably be great, as would a "cultural significance of manatees"; but an "...in popular culture" article always ends up being a list of every time an item is used in a TV show just because its cachet allows a bad script-writer to establish a plot detail in fewer words
