Infinite monkey theorem in popular culture

Infinite monkey theorem in popular culture (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

Trivia list that does little but mention a bunch of times the idea has been featured in jokes. --Eyrian 14:53, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - pop culture references list with little context and few sources --Miskwito 17:03, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. The user who contested the prod in May recanted and this should have been removed then. The first post-1928 instance of its use could be accomodated on the main article page.Canuckle 17:15, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Facts can be covered appropriately by lists, topics cannot. Golfcam 23:56, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep The article infinite monkey theorem is too large to include this spinoff. Interestingly, there aren't many other ways to illustrate the concept besides these references. Obviously, there are no real-life examples (other than, perhaps, Misplaced Pages itself) of a lot of monkeys pounding away on keyboards until something intelligent can be produced. :) Mandsford 13:56, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nomination. The main article doesn't need a long section at all. As I've stated many times: condense the section instead of just splitting it into a massive list that grows into a cluttered mess with no signs of clean up. RobJ1981 22:25, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete WP:TRIVIA. IPSOS (talk) 23:21, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
