Editing Talk:To Kill a Mockingbird (section)

== Merge proposal ==

I propose merging [[To Kill a Mockingbird in popular culture]] into [[To Kill a Mockingbird]]. Most of the list in To Kill a Mockingbird in popular culture is unsourced and does not merit inclusion per [[MOS:TRIVIA]]. I think moving the two lead paragraphs back to To Kill a Mockingbird and eliminating the list would allow the popular culture context to be explained without causing [[Wikipedia:UNDUE|weighting]] issues.

:'''Support merge''' The '''...in popular culture''' article is short and, as the nominator points out, almost entirely unsourced. Its lead is a strong (and sourced) summary that would fit well in the main article without adding too much to the length (although a bit of the first para can be trimmed as just repeating what's already in the main article), and the fancruft lists of trivial mentions aren't useful.

::@[[User:Schazjmd|Schazjmd]] I accidentally started deleting the pop culture examples that I felt were fancruft. I meant to undo my deletions when I added the merge template. Please see [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=To_Kill_a_Mockingbird_in_popular_culture&oldid=1250420432 the previous version] with the original-length article.

:::@[[User:ElToAn123|ElToAn123]], it doesn't change my support for the proposal. I've restored those accidental deletions though, and kept the merge template.

:'''Support'''. A summary of cultural impact is useful as part of the book's article. If someone wants to make a list of every time the work is mentioned in another work, they can do so at https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ReferencedBy/ToKillAMockingbird per [[WP:ALTERNATE]].
