On the Norse mythology articles, which is my primary sphere of interest on Wikipedia, irrelevant fancruft tends to accumulate and distract from the main content of the entries. For an example see [[Yggdrasil]] which has a large Popular Culture section and a disambiguation entry, both of which could be summarized with "a bunch of things in a bunch of games/novels/etc. have been named after the mythological Yggdrasil". Sometimes I snap and delete some of the stuff. For example I removed the following from [[Fenrisulfr]]: "Fenrir appears as a summonable character in Squaresoft's Final Fantasy IX. Also it is a summonable creature in Final Fantasy XI."
See [[Lilith]] for what seems so far to be a stable solution to this problem: all the pop culture is in [[Lilith (disambiguation)]]; and after someone re-added the ==Lilith in popular culture== section, I made that section's entire contents "See [[Lilith (disambiguation)]]". You'll probably want to do that with quite a lot of the pop-culture-infested Norse mythology articles.
