Poorly referenced "a list of depictions of the historical Assassins in later literature and modern popular culture", i.e. this is the usual list of media that mention the Order of Assassins. With trivia such as "MMORPGs have Assassins in them, referred in as a job or class", or "Corvo Attano from Dishonored is an assassin getting revenge on the people who conspired against him and framed him for murder", this mess fails WP:TRIVIA/WP:IPC, WP:NLIST, WP:GNG, WP:INDISCRIMINATE, WP:OR.

- Delete pointless article with no clear topic— the supposed subject is oddly specific trivia while “assassins” in general are an extremely common topic in popular culture. Dronebogus (talk) 20:53, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete - I'd imagine there's potential for some form of discussion on fictional interpretations of assassins, but this is not that topic. This is simply a trivial collection of minor details that cannot be improved in any capacity. It should be deleted, and someone should explore actual analysis of the topic in the main article if they have interest. TTN (talk) 22:58, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete: The assassin is a basic stock character in fiction. Therefore, a list of them is inherently too broad to be anything other than an indiscriminate collection of information. ―Susmuffin 23:14, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
