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.
