trivia fork, there should not be a page full of trivia on this just because it was "too long for the main article", then it shouldn't be there in the first place. Biggspowd 21:07, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep the referenced statements; delete everything else. I have much more tolerance for trivia when it comes with references. Yechiel Man  22:37, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge what you can into the parent article, not as a section, and Delete the rest. Trivia forks are evil.  --Haemo 23:47, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge some Delete Rest per Haemo. I don't subscribe to the religion that trivia forks are inherently evil, but this one is made up of some facts that clearly belong in the article ("second largest city in British Empire"), and other assertions that are meaningless even as trivia.

 * Delete - reads like the "Did you know?" poster hanging on the bathroom wall at my local watering hole. Otto4711 00:20, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge partially into Kolkata--JForget 00:35, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Ideally, this should be merged into the main article (Kolkata). This looks like a list of potentially interesting and useful information that can, somehow, be incorporated in the main article in appropriate places and appropriate ways, if someone is willing to do it... -- Ekjon Lok 01:44, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

 * fascinating. I honestly did not know so much of what was on that list. Trivia is a list of trivial things. Delete. Kripto 01:56, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
