Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Politics and Pop Culture In the United States
Disclosure: I'm one of the online ambassadors for the course in question.  The article is no doubt in a very poor state right now, and I agree that the student should not have placed such a weak draft into mainspace yet, but the topic itself seems clearly notable to me, and that's what we are debating here.  AFD is |not cleanup; the question is whether the topic is a valid one for an article.  A short search finds this: "For more than a decade, scholars from various academic professions have been turning in increasing numbers to the historical study of the connections between politics and popular culture."  That's from ''Popular Culture and Political Change in Modern America'', by Ronald Edsforth and Larry Bennett, published in 1991.  I'll see if I can find a sensible sentence or two to place at the top of the current article to make it clearer what the topic of the article is, but the notability of the topic should not be in question
