Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tokyo in pop culture
This is ''much'' better than Atlanta in fiction which was also nominated, which I also argued to keep. If someone wants to improve this article, a good reliable source would be ''http://www.amazon.com/Dawn-West-Donald-Keene/dp/0231114354 Dawn to the West: Japanese Literature of the Modern Era'' by Donald Keene. Tokyo as a fictional setting has been commented on by enough reliable sources that the topic is clearly notable (and who ''doesn't'' have the image of Godzilla destroying Tokyo somewhere in their brains)?. The list is not "trivia", it avoids trivia by stating "''A title with just a brief episode in the city is not listed.''" The list shows fictional representations of Tokyo which are "associated with" and have "significantly contributed" to the the popular cultural conception of Tokyo (which is the topic of this article), and thus meets the criteria to not be a #DIR|loose association of topics. This article doesn't fit any of the types of articles listed as #IINFO|indiscriminate information, which are the only types of "indiscriminate information" which have |consensus for exclusion
