the impact or prevalence of something in popular culture need to have

NOR has long been a bit slippery with fiction, both popular and
literary. The problem is that by the most hardline interpretation of
NOR, plot summaries of novels aren't allowed.
That would be a very hard-line interpretation of NOR indeed. A plot summary is
very much like the everyday process of summarising a topic that goes on in
Wikipedia all the time. To summarise, to summarise is not original research.
