Further comments on your new contributors help desk question re Simpsons
I don't agree with Jayron in this specific case. I agree generally that too much trivia is a potential problem, but one of the important aspects of the Simpsons is the cultural mirror. If a character on Law and Order tossed a towel to someone, it would probably be a stretch to call it homage to the commercial, and not appropriate for the article. (L&O does hold a mirror to society, but not the same way as the Simpsons). In contrast, the cultural references in the Simpsons are a large part of the attraction. While some may lament Wikipedia's robust handling of pop culture in contrast to other areas covered, once we accept that pop culture is acceptable, I don't think we should handcuff it beyond the usual rules of verifiability. I do side with OrangeMike - the reference, while fairly obvious, is Original research if not cited, so a reference is required.-- SPhilbrick  T  15:22, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

BTW, it is mentioned here, but not sure whether TV.com qualifies as a Reliable Source-- SPhilbrick  T  15:30, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
