Re: Submitted Pop culture names
in reply to a message by **Hiddlestoner_26**
Editors are supposed to mark why they deleted the name but the particular editor that deleted these names didn't leave a reason, which I grant you is frustrating.
I think if the name is from the film Black Panther its notable, as millions saw the film. If the name is from a comic book which is focused on a subcategory culture of people who read comic books (which are millions less than went to see the film) then its more likely to be deleted as "non-notable fictional use" which is one of the reasons we can delete a name.
That being said, Mike C is currently discussing with editors a "protocol" on what defines a name as relevant to pop-culture and what should instead be placed in Literature or another category.
