Articles are filling up with information that is, at best, borderline trivia (and at worst actively stupid), and we have a (default?) culture that seems to encourage adding it.
Unfortunately I've also noticed the problem with the counter-reaction to this. An article about someone doesn't just have to contain the things which establish "notability". One way that an article about someone can become a hack-job is by removing all the human detail until only the notoriety is left.
