Agendas I pursue
I loathe fancruft. I don't delete it every time I see it, but will often get sufficiently riled up at a needlessly mile-long "References in popular culture" or "Trivia" section to pare things down. Folks, a couple of examples of something getting referred to by something else are OK, even valuable. Less OK is an exhaustive list of every single time something comes up somewhere else. You effectively end up with a catalog of everyone's favorite cartoons and webcomics that threatens to run longer than the main part of the article, and this is when it becomes time to bring the hammer down.
