Wikipedia is heavily heavily weighted toward modern pop culture references. Which probably just shows that the majority of editors are not relying on print sources, but on googley sources.
Or alternately, that articles on pop culture subjects more frequently have people gunning for their deletion, and lack of references is an easy way to try accomplishing that. Few people are going to challenge an article on a 19th century poet.
But regardless, I don't see what the problem is with having modern pop culture references being easy to come by. Having references that are easy to come by is good, yes?
