Another failure of WP:IPC (also, WP:GNG, WP:NLIST, WP:V - mostly unreferenced, and even WP:OR. Unsourced definition of the concept, unclear inclusion criteria, pretty much the usual list of media which use the term Arcadia. It's contains a ton of stuff like "The mythic world that adorns the album covers of the rock band Asia, specifically the albums Alpha (1983) and Astra (1985). The album Astra was tentatively titled Arcadia." or "In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, there is an organisation called the Arcadia movement."

Delete or redirect if anyone can find anything salvageable. It's the typical TVTropes laundry list of minutia that fails to meet GNG. If there is anything to salvage, it should be started as prose in the main article and then organically split back out at a later time. TTN (talk) 13:31, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Another "pop culture" list that has no actual sourced discussion on the topic, just a TV Tropes style list of trivia. Of note, aside from the article on the actual historical region of Arcadia (region), we actually already have another separate article on the depictions in art of the mythical version at Arcadia (utopia). And while that article is also half made up of pop culture trivia lists that should probably be removed, it at least has a decent amount of prose text on the topic, so it would serve as the foundation of an improved form of an article on the topic far better than this list, which does not actually have any sourced content of worth that should be preserved or merged over there.

Delete: The term "Arcadia" commonly appears in fiction. There are no clear restrictions on what should be included in the list of Arcadian references in art and popular culture. Furthermore, the vast majority of the content is original research and trivia. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 19:45, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
