I think I should clarify one thing about what I was trying to say:
I'm not against the ==In popular culture== sections if they are coherent sentences, narratives, etc. about the impacts and representatiosn in popular culture. Popular culture is important (though of course I worry that "popular culture" simply means "US and UK popular culture" but anyway that's for the CSB people to worry about).
I'm against *lists* where people just hemorrage "trivia" in a non-interesting, non-useful function.
Sure, a reader thought the fact that a song called "Manhattan Project" by the prog-rock band "Rush" was relevant and interesting. But I think most people would find that to be "trivia", and not very interesting trivia at that.
Of course it is an individual judgment call. But if someone really thought it was important, they could add it back in with an expanded line about WHY this is notable (i.e. "... and this song became the anthem of a generation, featured prominently as the official UN song about nuclear weapons" etc.), and suddenly, it's not trivia any more! I feel that everything in an article should be there for a reason, and if that reason isn't apparent, it should be spelled out. Within reason, of course.
