Information in trivia sections should not be there at all -- it either belongs elsewhere in the article, or it does not belong there at all. While I accept that people will just add the trivia section back (with more indiscriminate information), that doesn't mean the section should be kept. Ideally the information in it should be merged with another section of the article (or used as the basis for a new section), or removed entirely. I've never found a piece of trivia that didn't fall in either of the latter categories.

[[Mitchell Baker]]. Her fondness for the trapeze is in "Trivia" because it is (it's a hobby, and it's completely irrelevant to why she has an article). But it's trivia that keeps getting into press articles about her. You could kludge it somewhere else, but leaving trivia pending such kludging is IMO a much better option than just trashing it.

On popular culture sections, I suggest a look at [[Lilith]] and [[Lilith (disambiguation)]]. I shoved the popular culture into the latter and, when people kept adding it to the article, I placed an explicit pointer there ;-)

People are going to keep adding this stuff. I don't think it detracts horribly from the encyclopedia, providing it's kept stylistically readable within the article. Much as [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number]] makes me lose the will to live, but I can tolerate its existence in Wikipedia.
