Largely uncited, unsourced, listicle of cruft, trivia, and miscellaneous items. Wikipedia is not a dumping ground of all this random stuff. doktorb wordsdeeds 17:35, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but revise. The article certainly has issues but it's a bit unclear why it's been proposed for deletion by the user who has made over 20% of the last 500 edits. Have they only just noticed? Could they not have addressed these issues with some of these edits? It seems the issues would be better dealt with by removing unsourced material and trivia, and perhaps splitting the article, rather than removing the information in its entirety.
