How about a RfC in cruft in general?
"Removal of Cruft" is a Frequently Proposed Policy, and usually boils down to "get rid of all this stupid popular culture...Wikipedia should be a serious encyclopedia talking about serious stuff" by which the proposed almost always means *their* stuff.
I have a mantra which I feel might be helpful here: you don't visit an encyclopedia to find out about stuff you already knew, you go to find out about stuff you DIDN'T already know.
Given that some of the AfD regulars make themselves out to be experts on just about every subject under the sun, that might be a tall order, but we should make it our mission to make it possible :-)
