Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paradise Lost in popular culture
Although I agree (as I should, having read the damn poem three times in three separate classes) that PL has "had a profound impact on writers, artists and illustrators, and, in the twentieth century, filmmakers," there are no reliable, third party sources to support this claim.  Many things draw inspiration from PL, but this list violates #INFO as a collection of indiscriminate information.  Any medium or pop culture reference to a quote or theme is fair game, making the article bloated and trivial.  Anything that is notable (and therefore able to be properly sourced), like inspiration used by Mary Shelley and William Blake, can be mentioned on their works' articles
