One of my old favorites is up for deletion right now, for the fourth time, and looks likely to go the way of the dodo this time around. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimus_Prime_%28person%29. Just in time for the release of the new Transformers movie, too.
It was heavily referenced, non-controversial, and a fun little piece of trivia. I really don't understand why some editors feel the need to get rid of such stuff. There are days that Wikipedia makes me depressed.
Why can't it be heavily referenced, non-controversial, fun little piece of trivia in the article for the character? Why do we need an article just for him or for every fun little piece of trivia someone comes across?
At various points in history it _has_ been, but [[Optimus Prime]] is a very large article. Very large articles tend to be split into sub-articles like this.

My personal favorite is [[Meow Wars]]. I'm frankly amazed anyone could argue to keep it. It's an interesting little bit of Usenet trivia (and I vaguely remember it going on myself), but we don't need an article on every idiotic Usenet incident, "sourced" to nothing but Usenet archives and a few nostalgia essays.
