[edit] Sengoku Period Trivia

I have nominated this article because of the use of the word "trivia", which is defined by wiktionary as insignificant trifles of little importance, especially items of unimportant information. This puts the article in direct conflict with my understanding of the following Wikipedia guidelines:

  1. Articles title assumes that the information therin is trivial, violating NPOV
  2. If we are to assume that the articles information is indeed trivial then it is violating Imporance.
  3. Finally being that a trivia list is inherintly a list of random facts, this article is in violation of What Wikipedia is not.

Some or all of the information in this artile may be good however, it should be integrated into proper places within established articles. For advice on how this may be accomplished you might want to look at: Wikipedia:Trivia and User:GK/On adding trivia to the main body of an article. The_stuart 17:48, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete content, merge any verifiable content, if necessary, into Sengoku period and leave as a redirect to Sengoku period. PJM 18:10, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename to something like Cultural references to the Sengoku period, this is really just a misnamed list of games and movies set in the Sengoku period. BryanG(talk) 19:05, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge and delete per nom. Caveat lector 19:08, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename to Cultural references to the SengokuPeriod, but by all means, please do not delete. I created this article in order to purge the Sengoku Period article of this junk. Frankly, I think that trivia should be banned from certain articles, but since it is allowed, it would be nice to handle intelligently, putting it where people who want it can find it without letting it ruin an otherwise serious article.Spventi 20:47, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename per User:Spventi and User:BryanG. Angus McLellan (Talk) 23:45, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep We should keep all these trivia articles. Its human nature that people are interested in this stuff and you better off with it seperated out than in the main article. --MarsRover 05:00, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Do not merge into Sengoku period. The originator did that article a service by moving distracting information out of it, but selected an unfortunate name. Fg2 05:50, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
