I think this page should be merged with Bloody Mary (folklore). Most pages don't have a separate pages for their "in popular culture" - they both rely on each other for their context. But both of these pages are not very long anyway; seems simpler if all the information was in one place.

• Support. Both articles are fairly short so there's no danger of bloat. Also, the Bloody Mary (folklore) article has an "In popular culture" section that's essentially a placeholder for this article. JIP | Talk 07:40, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

• Support. As above. Hindustanilanguage (talk) 07:49, 9 June 2013 (UTC).

• Comment: Glad you both agree; I can't see there being much opposition really. I'll leave it another few days in-case anyone else wants to comment and then I'll merge the articles. Thanks --Rushton2010 (talk) 11:09, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

• Oppose the merge. Would Support an AfD tho. I originally removed the section from the Bloody Mary (folklore) article to here because it was mostly trivial and contained mostly non-sourced entries (I've half-heartedly tried to correct the latter situation since then). Problem is, any article or section with the words "...in popular culture..." is still mostly trivial and doesn't belong in an encyclopedia at all. GenQuest ^{"Talk to Me"} 21:23, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

• Comment I have re-opened the premature closure of this discussion. There is NO consensus, as I am opposed to it. (You can not just ignore that and unilaterally close a discussion.) There needs to be further discussion on this. Thank you. GenQuest ^{"Talk to Me"} 13:44, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

• Comment. Just delete the article. Your obviously not willing to listen to commonsense or listen to the views of the majority. So yeah. You want the article deleted so just get on with it. --Rushton2010 (talk) 14:14, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

• Support. It's only logical to merge the 'popular culture' part into the main article. Most of users are used to read about references in popular culture at the end of any article. I was surprised and confused to have to go to another article, especially one so short and poor. It should not be a stand-alone when there is not that much informations given to justify an entire article. Sora Saoirse (talk) 09:46, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

• Support Pop culture is just folklore that isn't old enough yet. Seems unnatural to draw an arbitrary line between them. InedibleHulk (talk) 07:12, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

• Comment. I'm not sure if this would be a good addition, but under the video game pop culture heading would SBCG4AP's fifth episode "8 Bit Is Enough" including Strong Bad attempting to summon a spirit (but miserably failing) be a worthwhile example? I'm a bit doubtful, which is why I'm asking. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.64.151.39 (talk) 03:40, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
