Example farm list with zero sources whatsoever since its creation in 2009, fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE and is entirely WP:OR. You know the drill - possibly notable topic but the article is totally unsalvageable and requires a full rewrite to be encyclopedic. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:15, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Chinese mythology#In popular culture. This currently lacks the secondary sources to show which of the examples listed are actually notable. On the other hand experience has shown that at least some will be notable after all. A redirect at least preserves the history, so that it can be used as a basis by someone willing to invest the time to find secondary sources about the examples, and therefore in my view is much better than deletion.

Delete - Like the various other "mythology in pop culture" articles that have been coming up at AFD recently, this is another case of a potentially notable article title whose article is unfortunately comprised entirely of inappropriate TV Tropes style trivia lists. This one has quite a few entries that are either real stretches to fit into the topic or are just flat out wrong, and the entire article is completely absent of a single source. No prejudice for a similarly named article or article section to be written with reliable, secondary sources on the topic after deletion, but the current article should not be retained in the main space, and as there is not a single secondary source, there is nothing in the current article that should be preserved.

Redirect per Daranios. This is the "aaargh" case, the topic is obviously notable, the current execution is obviously WP:TNTable. Ping User:Uncle G and User:TompaDompa who might add it to a to-do list or even rewrite it while this discussion is in progress (and if that happens, do ping me). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:52, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Chinese mythology#In popular culture per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion. The content and history is useful to preserve as editors can use the material as the basis for searching for sources when writing a new policy-compliant draft.

Redirect to Chinese mythology#In popular culture for optimal balance between WP:ATD, WP:GNG, and WP:TNT. gidonb (talk) 13:57, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
