Talk:List of dragons in popular culture

message: The title "Dragons in fiction and literature" is much better, since all dragons are fictional.  We wouldn't have a "List of multicellular turtles" or a "List of people who have parents."  On the other hand, the other article needs to be cleaned up.  So merging the content into this format is a good idea, but use the other title. 128.227.68.119 13:07, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That title may be better, but fiction is something purposefully created. The original dragons were from legend, which is something different. Mythology believed to be true by the people who think it, fiction is known to be false by the people who spread it. Please don't confuse the terms. This article only talks about dragons in fiction, not in myth and legend. DreamGuy 06:37, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This should be merged into Dragons in literature and fiction, which is a better name anyway.--SkiDragon (talk) 13:10, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge 

message: This article should possibly be considered to be split. As a list, it is not very helpful at all, and appears to be an indiscriminate list. If the article were expanded to add context to all these dragons, it would become exceedingly long, and no longer a list. Would it be a good idea to split it apart to allow for expansion, or should it remain as a list without detail? --Taelus (talk) 22:58, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confusing, and very long. 

message: They substantially cover the same topic. However, which style of the list should be used is up for debate. Should it be (a) more substantial as in List of dragons or (b) more like List of dragons in popular culture and bulleted? –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 00:55, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: No merger – The article List of dragons in popular culture has very limited citations and is an article with other issues including trivial information, I would like to see that specific article improved (or deleted) before any merger was even considered. List of dragons in mythology and folklore is not the same topic either, people actually believed in these stories and the popular culture version of the list is about fictional dragons.

thread_title:  Proposed merge with [[List of dragons]] 

message: List of dragons in popular culture and List of dragons in fiction could be merged, I suppose. But really, most of the content on these pages are already listed in List of dragons in literature, List of dragons in film and television, and List of dragons in games. (It looks like the puppets section could be merged to the television list page.) So all of that content should be pruned/merged to those list pages.  I also think there is enough info here for the split/creation of List of dragons in comics and animation, as well. And List of fictional dogs#Sporting and advertising mascots appears to show a way forward on how to handle sports team names. - jc37 19:15, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
