Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Genies in popular culture
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
