Influences on Kill Bill

Fails WP#TRIVIA, as it is essentially a long list of subjects that have no connection other than that Kill Bill makes allusion to them. In addition, while allusions may be an important aspect of the film Kill Bill, a list of them is not necessary. One other very important thing to note is that nothing in this article is sourced, and indeed, much of it is simply unciteable, as it simply depicts a similarity between the two films that is subject to interpretation, some may see the connection and some may not, but in the end whether or not it is an allusion can not be confirmed.

Mergeor delete sounds like a magnet for original research, anything useful should be in the main article --Nate1481(^t/_c) 08:33, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As with several Tarantino films, the article would be shorter if it just pointed out the bits he'd actually made up himself. Nick mallory 10:01, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do not delete, but reduce its length substantially. This probably can be done by eliminating uncited statements (which is why I added so many cn tags) and speculative statements. After it's down to a short article, merge into Kill Bill, which is where it was originally (read the discussion for both articles for more details about its history).

Delete Kill Bill may be notable but it certainly isn't The Battleship Potemkin. It's just another movie, and having more than one article about it gives undue weight to the movie's importance in the history of cinema. This is more the converse of all those Whaddayacallit in popular culture articles - trivia that's really not all that important to the movie, let alone to the sum of human knowledge. --Charlene 13:47, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Merge the important ones into the main article. Also, the article is entirely WP:OR the way it stands. Corpx 15:14, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Such a topic is inherently original research and belongs on a homepage and not an encyclopedia. NobutoraTakeda 16:35, 17 July 2007 (UTC) This user has been banned and !vote has been stricken. [1][reply]

Delete Merge a short synopsis of the most well-substantiated influences into the main article. -Splitpeasoup 21:03, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - this is trivia at best. --Storm Rider ^(talk) 04:36, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nominator, massive trivia farm at best. Burntsauce 17:28, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
