Closing statement says "keep" |
no, it was a keep by default, with the whole explanation, this is clearly no consensus since the votes were split (no consensus does not equal keep) |

Mismatching
'In the fantasy novel Dogsbody by Diana Wynne Jones the star Sirius is an intelligent being falsely accused of murdering another star by his peers. As punishment he is sent to Earth in the body of a new born puppy to find the weapon he supposedly used.' This does not match what ==Sirius in popular culture== in the article: Sirius says.68.148.165.213 03:53, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- There is no longer a mismatch since someone (not me) merged the entries. The book link was pointing to the wrong article but I corrected that. --GwydionM 21:12, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
No sources?
This article is listed as 'without sources'. But each reference points to a particular book or broadcast. There probably isn't a single source that would list all of them - if it has some, it might well be less accurate than what's shown here. --GwydionM 07:15, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- Since no one disagreed, I have removed the slur on the article's sources. --GwydionM 16:19, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Changes
In order to make this list a little less crufty, I made the following changes:
- Moved references to people, animals, and things in fiction that are called "Sirius" but are not the star Sirius to the article Star names in popular culture.
- Moved references to people, things, companies, etc. in the real world that use the name Sirius (e.g. as a pseudonym or brand name or title) to Sirius (disambiguation), where, of course, many of them already were listed.
- Changed the name of the article from "Sirius in popular culture" to "Sirius in fiction", since the latter was now more appropriate; the article now only contains references to the star Sirius in works of fiction (generally but not exclusively science fiction).

Inclusion
I have made a reference to the character 'Sirius Black' in the Harry Potter Series. All of the information is taken from the character's article. Chris Buttigieg 19:53, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
In Doctor Who, two mentions are made of the Sirius system. In 'Frontier in Space' (1973) the Master poses as an official from Sirius, an independent dominion of the Earth Empire in the 26th Century. In 'The Caves of Androzani' (1984), the colonised planets Androzani Major and Minor are in the Sirius system, though the period is unspecified.
Cosmic Trigger
Regardless of factual accuracy, Cosmic Trigger is written as non-fiction, and therefore doesn't belong in this article. Removed. 66.196.20.87 23:57, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
Deleting listcruft
This page is useless as a collection of each and every instance of the name "Sirius" in any context. If it doesn't refer to the star Sirius, it doesn't belong here. See further Star names in popular culture (itself a rather horrible example of listcruft). RandomCritic 00:27, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
