Article fails WP:GNG and list fails WP:LISTN. There isn't WP:SIGCOV to cite much of the statements here, and much of the list is WP:OR. Following the precedent at other similar articles for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yale University in popular culture, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Johns Hopkins University in popular culture, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tulane University in popular culture, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stanford University in popular culture.

Delete. Does not meet WP:LISTN, full of trivia. Femke (talk) 16:49, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Yet another TV Tropes style list of extremely minor trivia. Most of these boil down to "Princeton was mentioned once in this thing!" type entries, and there is no actual discussion on the actual overall concept. The closest this article has to any kind of actual legitimately sourced information is the first sentence, which simply states that Princeton appears in popular culture, and is actually just sourced to the official Princeton website.

Merge to Princeton University#In popular culture. I created this page in 2013 using content (I think) from elsewhere on Wikipedia. It could easily be condensed into a short section of the Princeton University article. Goustien (talk) 04:08, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. Per my argument at Talk:Princeton University in popular culture. This may even pass WP:LISTN, although much content is poorly referenced and the usual accumulation of WP:IPC failing trivia. Note we have one ok source: https://www.princeton.edu/~paw/archive_old/PAW98-99/04-1104/1104feat.html (COI/independence issues aside, sigh). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:03, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as is standard for these articles. Does not meet the WP:GNG or WP:LISTN. Shooterwalker (talk) 20:48, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
