Original research. Almost all the references are to the film itself. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 18:07, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Gah - indiscriminate collection of trivia. Wikipedia is not a directory of every time someone at Pixar decides to throw a supposed reference to another Pixar film in the background.

Most of this stuff is sorcable, but I can't get past this being basically a trivia list. Maybe a text article on the culture and traditions od the Pixar company, covering some of the same material, would be a better idea? Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:38, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as Wikipedia is not a directory. Maybe the information could be added to the articles about the films under the section "References to other Pixar films". Armbrust Talk Contribs 15:32, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral- article needs to be shorn of its original research, which I suspect is most of the article. Then we'll see if there's anything left to be preserved. Reyk YO! 00:20, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]- Delete- On further thought, I don't think there will be enough left after getting rid of all the OR to be worthwhile.

- Keep - based on nominator TenPoundHammer's agreement in the previous AFD discussion that the article *does* have mainstream sourcing and is not original research ("support adding some of the more reputable sources"), but just needs to be cleaned up in some manner from the fanboy additions. I can copy-and-paste the same discussion points and references made before here if necessary, but it may be simpler to just point users to that page instead.

- This page is helpful and will not be deleted under any circumstances. It is not merely trivia, it is a helpful guide to easter eggs hidden in Pixar movies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cronokiller (talk • contribs) 21:10, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
