WP:INDISCRIMINATE[edit]

{{rfc|hist|media|soc|rfcid=22B68F4}} Should the section entitled "In contemporary popular culture" be kept in the article, or is it a case of WP:INDISCRIMINATE? 13:13, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

The section entitled "In contemporary popular culture" seems to be a collection of indiscriminate information with no encyclopedic value. It's just a list of random TV episodes that happen to mention Stonehenge. I propose to remove it. Amisom (talk) 13:01, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The section is a comprehensive survey of depictions of Stonehenge in contemporary popular culture. It adds considerable value to the subject. It should not be removed without consensus. NedFausa (talk) 13:07, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
What value does it add, and in what sense does it not fall foul of WP:INDISCRIMINATE? Amisom (talk) 13:11, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Remove, as it is a case of WP:INDISCRIMINATE Idealigic (talk) 19:58, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Literature and music?[edit]

Art and mythology but not a single mention of literature e.g. Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles? And perhaps equally notable, in the context of a 5000-year history, what about music, including popular music, even album covers? For example the many items in: this Google image Search?

Also, a very popular recent depiction was in the spoof Rockumentary ’This is Spinal Tap’ In the cult film the band have a stage set built in the style of Stonehenge. Due to a mix up it has been built in inches rather than feet , and is ridiculously small. They then have to hire dwarves to represent ’the people of Stone’enge’ and dance around the stones on stage. This fictional episode is based on the stage set built in real life for UK heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath in the 1970s. Their mix up meant that the stage stone Sarsens were built in metres rather than feet, so were about 3 times the size of the actual Stonehenge sarsens. Black Sabbath were only able to use this stage set at the Birmingham NEC as other arenas could not accommodate it. CLK1969 (talk) 08:07, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CLK1969, if you are considering adding this to the article, you'll need to supply some good sources to support it. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:01, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fictional references[edit]

There's a facility in Ace Combat called Stonehenge; is that significant enough to fit here? 98.32.23.118 (talk) 01:57, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jeremy Deller[edit]

Very surprised there is no mention of Deller's Clonehenge. Martinevans123 (talk) 09:52, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
