I said usable, not complete. But regardless. Its not hard to recover if someone can fit it in, and if they cant, them it stays hidden like it should. There's no downside to wiping these sections.

Trivia sections are not encyclopedic. We require non-trivial sources, and we shouldnt be one ourselves. If they dont fit elsewhere then they are rightly dropped.
Wikipedia is a work in progress. Often the random bits of information that appear in a "trivia" section are things that will _eventually_ fit into a better-structured article, but if the article isn't developed enough yet they may not fit _right now._
Declaring trivia sections to be "Bad" and deleting them out of hand is likely to throw away raw material that would be useful in a more finished article.
You can thank us for the usable encyclopedia later when you figure it out.
Deleting something that's currently incomplete doesn't increase the encyclopedia's overall completeness.
