My general answer to this one is that X in popular
culture makes
useful padding untill the the article isup to a reasonable size. After
that it may be time for it to be culled.
I am almost shocked speechless.
Are you seriously suggesting that we should be deleting perfectly good
information simply because you think that a particular article has
reached
some threshold size which you consider "big enough"?
Does "Wikipedia is not paper" mean nothing to you?
Does "the entire
world does not have broadband" mean anything to you?
Ok so 32 is probably a little low for an article size limit but 40+
and popular culture/trivia are second on my list of things to kill
(the first being random quotes about the subject wikiquote is thata
way)
So factor it out into a separate article, rather than simply throw it away.
If there is sufficient information in [[X#X in popular culture]] to cause a
noticeable delay in loading the article, then maybe an article [[X in
popular culture]] should be created.
If the latter is not what you meant, then you might have phrased yourself a
little more carefully.
