There is a discussion at Talk:List of collective nouns#Doomwheels regarding the suitability of fictional list items. __ Just plain Bill ( talk) 16:09, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello - the Jezebel article, which was in a very poor state but has now been re-written, has an "In popular culture" which grows longer and longer with unsourced and unverifiable additions such as somebody called a hurricane "Jezebel" in some movie, a character in a video game has "Jezebel" as a first name, every pop song called "Jezebel" or that has "Jezebel" in the lyrics. Don't such lists have to have any references, how is anyone supposed to know that editors are not just making stuff up? My inclination is delete all of it except the most notable and verifiable cases that can be sourced but I would like some advice or guidance as to whether this is an OK thing to do. Or start an article "Jezebel in popular culture" and move it all there maybe, would that be OK? But it still would not seem right to me to have a list of unverifiable information. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Smeat75 ( talk) 17:59, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
This wikiproject could benefit from a basic tutorial that shows how to clean up and find trivia sections. Just a thought. Mr.Magik-Pants ( talk) 02:09, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

It is proposed that WP:WikiProject Popular Culture (formerly WP:WikiProject Trivia and Popular Culture) and WP:WikiProject Laundromat be merged into WP:WikiProject Trivia Cleanup, the best-established and most clearly named project for this work. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 05:32, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.
The most recent talk page comment was over four years ago, and Wikipedia:INACTIVEWP recommends marking a project as inactive if nothing happens for one year.
Inactive WikiProjects still have their pages remain up, so the main WikiProject Trivia Cleanup page will stay available for use by editors. Inactive is just a signal that nothing collaborative is happening. QuietCicada ( talk) 13:35, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
