That would belong at [[Voltaire (disambiguation)]], rather than in any
"trivia" section. Think outside the box, damn.
Do you really want to see links to wrestling articles
from history
articles because some wrestler decided to name himself Alfred the
Great or something?
Again this is a disambiguation issue.
it just depends how significant the reference is. If
one single KL
monorail station was the setting for an entire series of books that
was a cult classic in Mexico, it might be worth noting. If that
station was the first time that Joey and Sandy snogged after Sandy
broke up with Jimmy in the two-bit anime series "The KL Klub", I don't
want to hear about it.
A rambling rhetorical question I guess: Are you suggesting that, if
the latter trivia is the basis upon which some half-serious
contributor decides to create a short stub about this illustrious
monorail station (to which information of more direct pertinence might
soon be added, if even one non-rabid new-page patroller happens to be
awake), because it's the only bloody reason he or she has heard of it,
we'd be better off without it for the time being?
