I don't think Wikipedia should be an encyclopedia that connects everything to The Simpsons somehow. Do we need a "Wikitrivia" project (or perhaps this idea can be abstracted in a more useful fashion) to collect all the meaningless pop cultural crap, or is existing policy sufficient to remove it?
There's definitely a Simpsons wikia (http://simpsons.wikia.com/ - needs a good kick in the pants though), but I'm not sure what the community feels about linking to Wikia, etc. As far as I know/knew, Wikia is/was sort of meant to be a place for more... specialist... "encyclopedias", although it focuses more on communities, etc. It's also an entirely different can of worms, and often article quality is... less than good. But it's a thought. Maybe.
