I still feel that any unconfirmed trivia points need to have external references so that others can see you've done your homework as well as see where you're coming from. Not really, junk trivia like that would just be considered minor vandalism, which is already covered under other policies. There is no reason to have a ridiculously complicated set of policies regarding trivia notes: simpler is far better.

We need to chill with having a whole bunch of lists for each and every policy, people are more likely to ignore the policy in that case and they'll never be read by any new editors. Yeah I guess that's true, but a comprehensive policy means we cover our asses incase people start causing flame wars regarding "why was X removed but not Y" and we give them a subjective reply as opposed to an objective one where we can say "You had no references whereas they did" or "Not enough evidence to support your theory whereas the other one did".
