I'm talking about when some kid thinks it's a crazy coincidence that the character Voltaire in their favourite computer game has the same name as an actual historical figure.
That would belong at [[Voltaire (disambiguation)]], rather than in any "trivia" section. Think outside the box, damn.
Do you really want to see links to wrestling articles from history articles because some wrestler decided to name himself Alfred the Great or something?
Again this is a disambiguation issue.
it just depends how significant the reference is. If one single KL monorail station was the setting for an entire series of books that was a cult classic in Mexico, it might be worth noting. If that station was the first time that Joey and Sandy snogged after Sandy broke up with Jimmy in the two-bit anime series "The KL Klub", I don't want to hear about it.
A rambling rhetorical question I guess: Are you suggesting that, if the latter trivia is the basis upon which some half-serious contributor decides to create a short stub about this illustrious monorail station (to which information of more direct pertinence might soon be added, if even one non-rabid new-page patroller happens to be awake), because it's the only bloody reason he or she has heard of it, we'd be better off without it for the time being?
