 * I wish I'd had the courage simply to delete "Trivia" sections from mythology articles. Efficient. I have found, though, that when these sections are hived off as "X in popular culture", with a very brief notice concerning them left at the main article&mdash;in other words, the usual Wikipedia procedure&mdash;they are soon brought up for speedy deletion as pointless cruft. Mani puliti! --Wetman 00:12, 15 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Can you please cite a specific example of inappropriate content removal? I have removed content that does not belong in an encyclopedia. Trivial content such as lists of games that feature a particular mythological entity do not constitute any meaningful or substantitive contribution, at least as I understand it. According to the trivia essay (admittedly, not a formal policy or guidline, but still a pursuasively argued viewpoint), the general approach should be that content be both interesting and important.  I believe that all my deletions are well justified.  Thanks for your interest and help.  --BehemothCat 00:21, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I've raised the issue of Inane Pop Culture References over at the Village pump, so perhaps some clarification will ensue. Wetman, thanks for the feedback! --BehemothCat 02:11, 15 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Since this is relevant to our recent discussion I thought I'd share it with you. I was reading a few movie articles today and came across one that used this template :

'''This article's trivia section has too much trivia. To meet Wikipedia's quality standards, the article requires cleanup.'''

Content in the trivia section should be integrated into other appropriate areas of the article.
 * It might be useful to tag articles suffering from trivia glut with this to get other editors discussing what trivia items need to be dealt with. -- Shadowlynk 23:33, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
