No indication that this is a notable theme (could we have "coal miners in fiction?). No reference, haven't found any either. Possible advertisement for the bolded books listed.  — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:06, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as WP:NOTDIR "non-encyclopaedic cross-categorization". Dricherby (talk) 17:56, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• No comment as to this article, but in response to the question of whether we could have coal miners in fiction, the existence of [1] and [2] as reliable sources suggest that yes, in fact we could. JulesH (talk) 19:45, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • OK but what about Fiction in coal mines? :-) Dricherby (talk) 20:02, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

      • That's Coal mines in fiction. But I was being facetious. Dricherby (talk) 10:48, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. There's a lack of content that is likely to continue, and there's no notability for the subject. Nothing makes coal miners in Hindi Fiction special compared to coal miners in any other sort of fiction. Ducknish (talk) 21:32, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or Rename to Mining in fiction/Mining in pop culture. I don't see a reason why specifically coal miners (let alone only Hindi ones) should be singled out, but miners are a stock character/recurring theme in literature and other media. E.g. Hunger Games, Timbuk3's Daddy's Down in the Mine, Coal (TV series). And that's just off the top of my head. -- Atlantima ~✿~ (talk) 14:10, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The current article would be of little use for such an article, although I agree that a more general topic would probably be notable. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:16, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
