I glanced yesterday at a recent dictionary 'of phrase and fable', which had a Pokemon article.
Here's a thought, addressed to one part of 'what do we do about popular culture articles?' A new wiki, Wikifable, could be a place to transwiki material which was basically narrative treatment of myths (Norse, manga, soap operas ...). WP itself should be left with analytical and scholarly treatment of myths. Wikifable would have to work out its own protocols (canon, fourth wall, sources ...) but they could be independent of WP's.
Ah good, I can go braindump my speculations on The Ring Cycle... you do realise that this would be perfect for Wikia, right? And that we should be a little more liberal in our attitude to external links? You can almost guarantee that an external link will survive if it's to "{{PAGENAME}} Wiki"...
