Why are so many titles (title listings) on the article talk page.-- Dakota ~ ε 00:12, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
What about evil Lincoln? Rubedeau 07:40, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
Not sure but i added the clone high bit and the south park episode where he comes alive
I am requesting a merger with the main Abraham Lincoln page. I see no point in keeping this list separate, and would appreciate user/editor comments on this.

I think that this should all be added to the Cultural depictions of Abraham Lincoln page. -- YankeeDoodle14 04:35, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
What about Abe Lincoln: Freedom Fighter (1978)? For a review see Jabootu's Bad Movie Dimension. ( 205.250.167.76 23:21, 15 March 2007 (UTC))
To see if there's a consensus. I'll leave this up for 24 hours or so before acting. -- YankeeDoodle14 05:22, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: No consensus to move, plus nom provides no evidence that suggested title is more typical, a contention that appears to be contrary to Andrewa's category reference. Mike Cline ( talk) 02:56, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
Cultural depictions of Abraham Lincoln →
Abraham Lincoln in popular culture – This form of title is more typical for articles with this type of subject matter, and was suggested during
the recent AfD discussion.

'THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE"???---Abe is a virtual subtext in Frankenheimer's movie and there is no explanation of this in 1960-1969. Why not???--johncheverly 18:45, 21 September 2012 (UTC)johncheverly9/21/12/2:45pm.
Dude,
Check out the Lincoln bust behind Lawrence Harvey.

Dude, http://www.filmsite.org/manc2.html
Senator Iselin is reflected off the glass covering a portrait of Lincoln - juxtaposing the ghostly-thin, anti-Communist with a stalwart American from another era, as he fixes himself a drink. As a spineless puppet, Senator Iselin complains to his wife that he can't keep the number of Communists straight in the Defense Department: "I mean, the way you keep changing the figures on me all the time. It makes me look like some kind of a nut, like an idiot." She holds up a newspaper and proclaims:
Raymond's vicious, overly-smothering mother - sitting next to a bust of Lincoln and in front of a fireplace portrait of Lincoln - sabotages his relationship and potential marriage plans with the daughter of one of his step-father's political foes - she labels Jocie "a Communist tart." She interprets his romance as dangerous to her own plans, and maternally 'brainwashes' him to give her up:

The celebration opens with images of American patriotism gone mad - there is a closeup of an American flag - a hand reaches out and defaces the flag with a trowel-like shovel. It scoops up the caviar from the star pattern onto a cracker to be devoured. The hand belongs to Johnny Iselin, who is dressed with a tall stove-pipe hat and fake beard as Abe Lincoln. He excuses his desecration: "It's all right, it's Polish caviar." Mrs. Shaw, who appears as Little Bo Peep (or Mother Goose?), reaches out with her long staff and pulls his arm - an apt metaphor for her controlling nature. Raymond, who is costumed as a Spanish gaucho, is extremely nervous about meeting his long-lost girlfriend.
The scene in the study between Raymond and his mother begins with a close-up of a black bust of patriotic father figure Abraham Lincoln - one of many such witty image compositions and motifs in the film (visually linking Iselin to Honest Abe). Raymond's mother divulges that she is his American controller - an agent for the Reds: "Why don't you pass the time by playing a little solitaire?" When he comes upon the Queen of Diamonds, she is unexpectedly called away and takes the card as a precaution. Jocelyn, however, finds Raymond in the study and is reunited with him - she is coincidentally (and improbably!) dressed as the Queen of Diamonds - the most appealing costume possible for him! After embracing, they depart to elope, and leave behind her card costume.
IS THAT ENOUGH FOR YOU DOUBTING DUDE???

I proposed that the article be moved from Abraham Lincoln cultural depictions to Cultural depictions of Abraham Lincoln since most cultural depictions-related articles are titled in the latter order and it just sounds much cleaner and better. Thoughts? Katastasi and his talk page. 21:31, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
Hi,
Perhaps just a curiosum, but Ibsen wrote a poem on Lincoln's death:
https://no.wikisource.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincolns_mord
Published 1871, IIRC.

Currently, the article says In 1998, Scott McCloud wrote and drew the graphic novel The New Adventures of Abraham Lincoln, in which the president seemingly returns to life in the present day;
- but with the book being published in February 1998, Scott had certainly completed writing and drawing it before the year began. This should be rephrased to:
I am not going to do this myself, as I have a COI with regards to McCloud (personal friend, and I have published some of his material), but I leave it as a suggestion for others, should they see fit. -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 00:12, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
