Nor are we in a position according to you to determine what crap is. After all, what we believe is crap today may very well to turn out to be bio-fuel or natural gas tomorrow. I'm simply setting forth one principle for determining what crap is. Besides, the real point of my recommendation in this context regarding pop-culture items (Pokemon, pop-stars, etc.) is to give them a holding place outside the encyclopedia itself that is still part of Wiki until we have better knowledge about where on the crap continuum they belong. I'm not recommending a flush, simply a split, and anything can be moved back to the encyclopedia and is of course still accessible and editable like any other Wiki content.~~~~Pro-Lick
