Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Pixar film references (3rd nomination)
to the main Pixar article, and possibly also the individual film articles.  I disagree with the suggestion that this is original research, as sources have been provided that list many references in the films.  However, just because sources can be found for a long list of references doesn't mean it is appropriate for Wikipedia to have a complete list of them.  I would consider this article similar to having an article List of plays in Super Bowl XLIV, with a complete list of every play.  Such a list would be easily sourced, but I think almost everyone would agree that it isn't appropriate for Wikipedia.  In this case, I think there is sufficient coverage of how Pixar puts references of this sort into their films that the concept of them doing so should be mentioned somewhere.  However, such coverage should be done in prose, giving examples of the most significant references, not as a list of all the references that can be found in any reliable source.  I think a long list of references like this is the sort of thing that  says is inappropriate for Wikipedia (even if it doesn't exactly fit with any of the examples given there).  I think that if this was rewritten as prose describing the concept of references in Pixar films and only giving the most significant examples, it would easily fit in the main Pixar article.  Very prominent references in individual films could also possibly be mentioned in the articles for those films
