Charmed trivia
I have nominated this article because of the use of the word "trivia", which is defined by wiktionary as insignificant trifles of little importance, especially items of unimportant information. This puts the article in direct conflict with my understanding of the following Wikipedia guidelines:


 * 1) Articles title assumes that the information therin is trivial, violating NPOV
 * 2) If we are to assume that the articles information is indeed trivial then it is violating Imporance.
 * 3) Finally being that a trivia list is inherintly a list of random facts, this article is in violation of What Wikipedia is not.

Some or all of the information in this artile may be good however, it should be integrated into proper places within established articles. For advice on how this may be accomplished you might want to look at: Trivia and User:GK/On adding trivia to the main body of an article.

 * Keep "Trivia" is a commonly used term on Wikipedia, I don't think that's a valid reason for deletion. In addition, the trivia section was in the main Charmed article, and it was placed in its own article because of its size. — Mira Luka  23:15, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep Trivia has been split off because it was too long. I have already proposed deletion of irrelevant trivia items but even basic trivia is too long for the main article. AdamDobay 00:11, 26 May 2006 (UTC) Addition: The article contains relevant information that does not fit in the main article but is important nevertheless, such as references in popular culture. I suggest pruning the trivia down to the information relevant to the show, adding why it is relevant (such as the end-of-season door closing that has become a trademark of the show). AdamDobay 10:47, 27 May 2006 (UTC) Addition #2: Restructuring the article perhaps shows better that it contains notable information that is not insignificant.
 * If the information within this article is important, sifnificant, relevent, or notable then the article is incorrectly titled if you note the definition of "trivia". Although not an easy task, wouldn't it make more sense to put of these things into various places within the main article? --The_stuart 01:40, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Adam Dobay & MiraLuka --Maelwys 00:22, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep actually having a trivia article for a main article seems like a good idea. Some people what the facts and other hard-core fans want the trivia. --MarsRover 04:34, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge some of the information into various sections on Charmed-related articles, but delete this article and do not just make a trivia section in the main Charmed article. (Sorry if that sounded a bit to forceful) &mdash;M e ts501 talk 02:23, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
