That's often the problem with
trivia - misplacement. People tend to
want to migrate information to the most "important" article related.
And the answer to the "problem" is to migrate the information to the most
appropriate article.
Unfortunately some of the sentiment expressed up-thread seems to be more of
the "nuke it until it glows then shoot it in the dark" variety.
Newbies will not be nearly so bitten by a polite message saying "thank you
for your information: it has been moved to a more appropriate place" than by
a rude message saying "don't add trivia to articles; it makes them messy".
