Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/References to Oscar Wilde in popular culture
because Wikipedia is #DIR|not a directory of loosely associated topics.  It does not appear that any of these entries are notable ''because'' of Oscar Wilde, and any entry asserting its notability (like "In the film Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker's love interest Mary Jane Watson plays Cecily in a production of ''The Importance of Being Earnest''. Both the film and the play deal with the theme of double-lives") seems to be |original research without attribution.  If Oscar Wilde's presence in popular culture is to be covered, significant coverage (per E|notability standards) should be cited on the topic, and not an accretion of trivial mentions using editors' firsthand perspectives to |synthesize the prominence of such a topic
