Talk:Politics in fiction

Untitled

Typical wikipedia article...always mostly from a western viewpoint. (comment from 80.227.100.62)

Non-western additions are welcome. Nihil novi (talk) 18:57, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The biggest problem is that it is useless. It does not explain anything. I bet it was easy to create, and some Wikipedia editor probably displays it proudly on his user page, as part of a list of articles he has created from scratch. Isn't he good. The list does not distinguish between real-life politics and fictional politics; it does not distinguish between works that are about politicians, and those that are about people who are caught up in politics; it does not distinguish between works that are about High Politics (i.e. "Yes Minister", "Mr Smith Goes to Washington") and those that merely use politics as a backdrop ("The Dead Zone", "Murder at 1600", "Three Kings"). And of course it can't be sorted or ordered. -Ashley Pomeroy 16:36, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with much of this sentiment. I suggest that it could be improved by grouping by politics (e.g location/period in history), rather than media.--JBellis (talk) 17:32, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The introduction stipulates that "Passing mentions are omitted from this list." If you know that an item is using politics merely as a backdrop, feel free to delete it, with a brief explanation in the edit summary. Nihil novi (talk) 18:57, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

rename?

This should be more accurately called List of Politics in fictionis its purely list-based and makes no attempt to discuss the subject. Any comments? --JBellis (talk) 17:32, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to add an introductory discussion. Nihil novi (talk) 18:57, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with the rename. Any "introductory discussion" can be found on the Political fiction page
-- TimNelson (talk) 11:46, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, "List of political fiction." Nihil novi (talk) 00:49, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm... Why is Forrest Gump not on both the book and film lists? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobwhitten (talk • contribs) 20:41, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
