I said in an edit summary that the trivia section was getting out of hand and removed the random collection of references found there. They are back, with the edit summary Says you; most pop culture pages list and all their examples until they warrant their own article. Please read WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. A bullet point list of random references can never warrant a wikipedia article. Also, the section as it now stands does not comply with basic style guidelines which mandate that we write our articles as coherent text. Stefán17:32, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Is that so? What would you say to this page, that came as a product of this very same argument over another figure from myth? Furthermore, of course this isn't indiscriminate; just because you were never aware of all these references doesn't mean they're suddenly "random". By half-assing the section with some sentance that says, 'there's stuff in animé and comics, 'n junk', you're cheating others out of knowing just how the name is used, and purhaps, why. Virtually all the pop culture sections in wiki do this so nobody is left in the dark - something an encyclopedia should never do. -Biokinetica19:42, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Although I think I can live with that page, I'm not sure if there are enough references to warrant a seperate one (refer to Lilith's pop culture page). But a lot of them are missing, so i'll find and add those. -Biokinetica05:43, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The reason these pages are created in the first place is because these references are constantly added to such articles. They constantly multiply. This seems to be the best way to deal with such references. :bloodofox:05:00, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't "Midgard Serpent" be one of the names in bold? It's a much more recognizable title than the last few names, and the first mention of it in Thor's article is as The Midgard Serpent. I've never heard an English speaker refer to it as "Midgarsormen" (Which I assume means Midgard Serpent) or the World Serpent.66.167.234.246 (talk) 21:05, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
