*'''Keep''' as it is a discriminate list that demonstrates Atlanta's notability by indicating its influence and use in various works of fiction. I feel [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Le_Grand_Roi_des_Citrouilles&diff=161742100&oldid=161740377 strongly] that these "in fiction" articles are encyclopedic and I have been working to improve a variety of them. Appearances of city's in fiction influence the tourism of the area and so there is a real research interest in knowing how popular particular city's are and how accurate the fictional depictions of these city's are. Plus, we clearly are shifting in a keep or no consensus mindset over these types of articles lately anyway: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/MPD_in_fiction&curid=14291246&diff=173349625&oldid=173349338] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Nanotechnology_in_fiction_%282nd_nomination%29].

:'''Comment'''. This isn't a matter of all or nothing. Just because some are kept (or have no consensus) doesn't mean all are. That's not how things work on Wikipedia. We aren't going to assume or just guess (or crystal ball) that all "in fiction" articles will be kept, just because some were.

Atlanta in fiction
- Atlanta in fiction (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
Wikipedia isn't a directory, and isn't a trivia collection. Some relevant (and important) information should be put in the Atlanta article, and leave it at that. RobJ1981 (talk) 18:02, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete and merge anything worth saving into Atlanta. JohnCD (talk) 20:45, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Lists of times a thing is mentioned in TV, movies, and comic books do not belong in an encyclopedia. Such mentions are not ipso facto notable even if the subject being mentioned is itself notable. / edg ☺ ☭ 11:23, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep as it is a discriminate list that demonstrates Atlanta's notability by indicating its influence and use in various works of fiction. I feel strongly that these "in fiction" articles are encyclopedic and I have been working to improve a variety of them. Appearances of city's in fiction influence the tourism of the area and so there is a real research interest in knowing how popular particular city's are and how accurate the fictional depictions of these city's are. Plus, we clearly are shifting in a keep or no consensus mindset over these types of articles lately anyway: [1] and [2]. Best, --Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 18:54, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
