We could start featuring two articles a day. One from a traditional encyclopaedic topic and one from a pop-culture topic, perhaps.
That's a false division of content. Wikipedia merely has more space for pop-culture topics than traditional paper encyclopedias. Anyway, pop culture on Wikipedia is one of our greatest assets - it attracts a lot of new users who would not otherwise read encyclopedia articles.
It also attracts deletionists who would otherwise have nothing to bitch about, or would they find something else? *shrug*
