That's unfair on a number of levels.

The problem with our plot summaries and trivia sections has little to  
nothing to do with their quality - in fact, they're usually quite good  
for plot summaries and lists of odd connections.

Second of all, when we delete such things, they do not go elsewhere.  
Generally, we destroy those resources utterly. It is not as though we  
are duplicating content on those fronts.
