:That rather depends on whether sections on popular culture constitutes trivia. The policy that you linked to does not state that it is, so that can be dismissed. You then provide a malformed link to an essay. But essays are not policy just someone's opinion (whether right or wrong). There are so many articles that have sections on popular culture that it is fair to say that their existence has been de facto accepted as part of Wikipedia.
