Vandalism?? Please review the subject line; it's about trivia. Your reference to vandalism is a non-sequitur.
Vandalism is ugly and unprofessional, and we're not being paid to edit, but we fix it anyway. Why should "Trivia" sections in articles be any different?
Because trivia are not vandalism; they are just interesting and curious bits of data about the subject. They give a lighter tone to the entire article. They are also just as subject to verifiability criteria as any other data.
