I strongly agree that articles on X in popular culture [etc] are better than extensive sections in the general article, but it's usual to collect material in broad topics until there's enough for more specific articles. In such a general article, it would best be worded as representative examples of various specific woods being used per the spirit of summary style. And those who oppose such content oppose it no matter where it goes.
Maybe, although arguably, it might be claimed that a separate pedia about stuff that people have made up might be ultimately appropriate. People would have a lot more difficulty claiming that it wasn't appropriate for an encyclopedia that actually contained only information on fiction and artistic works of one kind or another.
