*'''Keep''' - nomination appears poorly considered. In what way is the article "cluttered"? it seems neatly structured to me. As for "unsourced", the media mentioned in the list are sufficiently accessible sources. "Trivial", yes; but the point of creating the article was to stop the article [[Three wise monkeys]] being overwhelmed by these items. - [[User:Fayenatic london|Fayenatic]] [[User_talk:Fayenatic_london|(talk)]] 07:17, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

:*''the point of creating the article was to stop the article [[Three wise monkeys]] being overwhelmed by these items'' - that much is obvious, but the question is whether a subject like this deserves to exist on its own merits. "Stopping article x being overwhelmed by trivia" is not a good reason to create a new article, the proper solution IMO is simply to trim the amount of trivia so that it ''doesn't'' overwhelm the original article.

*'''Speedy delete''' The page has one [[WTF]] image on it of [[Faye Wong]] doing the "hear no evil..." thing - the above user (who created the page) is named after this Chinese musician and is a big fan, see userpage[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Fayenatic_london] - this is nothing but an obvious (yet oh so clever, I must give you that) fanpage.--[[User:Old Hoss|Old Hoss]] 07:22, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

*: At least that's giving credit where credit's due! Actually, the mention of Faye Wong was only added recently, but I created the article months ago as part of the long-proposed merger of [[Three wise monkeys]] with [[See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil|See no evil...]]. Oh OK, you got me, I had in mind to add it eventually. - [[User:Fayenatic london|Fayenatic]] [[User_talk:Fayenatic_london|(talk)]] 09:06, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

The three wise monkeys in popular culture

The three wise monkeys in popular culture (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

Yet another cluttered, trivial and unsourced list. RobJ1981 04:18, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I've seen some in pop culture articles which should be kept. Then I've seen ones like this. The article is useless - you may as well create a list of cultural depictions of "D'oh". Unsourced and has OR issues. Delete. Spawn Man 05:29, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
