Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NYU in popular culture
trivial mentions that serve to do nothing except promote American TV shows and movies. This isn't "NYU in popular culture", it's "TV shows and movies that mention NYU" - and that makes it an #DIR|indiscriminate list. "X in popular culture" articles may be very useful when written properly - but around here they always seem to get bloated out into lists of TV shows, without any non-trivial mentions from third-party reliable sources to prove that the mention is somehow ''notable'' for something. That gets as bad as having a List of TV characters with toothbrush moustaches
