yes, I am so suggesting. it would probably best located as part of a section (or separate article) on Wood in folklore and tradition, giving significant fictional uses of wood in this context. Of course, it would also fit in an article on Holly, under a similar subheading. Wikipedia is in general in need of considerable expansion in this area.
I'm just going to have to respectfully disagree with this sentiment in every detail.
IMHO the details of Potter's wand should be in Wikipedia, but in the Harry Potter article, or [[Wands in the Harry Potter universe]] or such.
An article [[Wood in folklore and tradition]], as suggested, could refer to the ones mentioned above, in a section about "magical" or fictional objects made of wood.
However, I do agree that it has no place in [[Wood]] as such. The topic is much too broad to warrant such minute details.
