On the one hand, I believe it is _quite possible_ to write good, well-sourced, encyclopedic articles on popular culture.
True.
On the other hand, I believe that such articles should be held to exactly the same standards as any other Wikipedia article, including deletion of material that cannot be sourced after sources have been requested and the requests have been outstanding for a reasonable length of time.
Low priority, for me, except in cases of defamation. But it also depends on other things. [[Bob Dylan]] should have everything nailed down with sources. The latest boy band - not so clear.
Deletion of material as unsourced is not anyway my kind of thing. 'Old school' Wikipedians probably want to make a serious effort to source dangling facts, before cutting them out. Or at least replace them with something that checks out.
