[edit] Survivor 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)

• Merge and delete per nom. no place in an encyclopedia Caveat lector 19:02, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with the Survivor pages. All facts about a specific Survivor should go on that seasons page. All general facts should go on the main Survivor page. In addition, facts about people should also go on their person pages if they have one. Keep after being moved to name proposed by JKPrivett and being cleaned up.TeckWiz 21:55, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete non-encyclopedic. Bwithh 23:43, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep being this is a pop culture topic you will never get rid of trivia. You are better off seperating it out than cramming it back in the main article. --MarsRover 04:40, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I was reading the page, and actually considering nominating it when I noticed it already had been. Wikipedia is not the place for this ridiculous collection of non-notable facts. RyanGerbil10 18:11, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and Modify A few of the items are trivial. Many others are statistical and notable events in a competition viewed by one of the largest audiences on US television. Compare to WNBA Finals, Slam Dunk Contest or MLB hitters with four home runs in one game. The revised version would be Survivor (TV) Records and Notable Events --JKPrivett 09:22, 29 May 2006 (UTC) I have begun a test on my user page. I see a few pages coming out of it: Winners, Records, Notable Eliminations, Challenges. 216.80.97.115 21:39, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Your page is great. I think we should use it. Anyone else second that?TeckWiz 12:10, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

I second JKPrivett's Keep and Modify solution. Very well done. BullWikiWinkle 21:59, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep It mentions several notable events as well as records. If it were merged with a different page then that page would be very cluttered. ~Scorpion0422

• Keep This was originally all on the main page for the Survivor series, and the page had become huge. That's why I moved the information to another page. I don't think I was the one who labeled the page "trivia". I just moved what was originally at the main page because I thought Wikipedia had a size limit. JKPrivett's idea sounds like a good one. --JamesB3 10:17, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
