Easier to just ignore it (if it meets our liberal criteria for notability) than to try and sort it out. Purging it would take more energy, and create more problems, than just letting it coexist. There's no workable way to do it, and the benefits of doing so seem dubious at best.

To wax less prolix, we aren't in a very good position to determine what the future will find notable or not; all we can hope to do is filter out a decent portion of the crap.Nor are we in a position according to you to determine what crap is. After all, what we believe is crap today may very well to turn out to be bio-fuel or natural gas tomorrow. I'm simply setting forth one principle for determining what crap is. Besides, the real point of my recommendation in this context regarding pop-culture items (Pokemon, pop-stars, etc.) is to give them a holding place outside the encyclopedia itself that is still part of Wiki until we have better knowledge about where on the crap continuum they belong. I'm not recommending a flush, simply a split, and anything can be moved back to the encyclopedia and is of course still accessible and editable like any other Wiki content.~~~~Pro-Lick
