Madonna 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. The_stuart 17:48, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep. I think this was broken off from the main article because of the size of the main article. There is plenty of precedent for trivia for the subject of a major article - almost anyone who is interested in the subject will be interested in the trivia.

 * Keep per User:Aguerriero (but perhaps rename to Cultural references to Madonna). Angus McLellan (Talk) 23:57, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per aguerriero, rename per angus. --Joelmills 01:23, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep but rework. Most information is interesting but doesn't fit into the main article because of it's size. The trivia list should be expanded with valuable information and sectioned to enhance the main article Madonna (entertainer). There has been a section about "influences" and so on suggested on the talk page of the main article. Instead a section in the main article it should become a seperate article (because of size). So the trivia list could become "Cultural references to Madonna" (like suggested by Angus McLellan above) but also the other way around "Cultural influences on Madonnas work". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bisco (talk • contribs).
 * Merge and delete per nom. We shouldn't have pages with random trivia. --Maitch 17:43, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
