Well I can see this discussion is going no where. I'll give the thread another day to pick up and if there's no solid disussions happening, I'll close it and the decision will be based on just the poll, which would mean no trivia on any pages.

My personal opinion on this topic is the following: We should set up some sort of guidelines for allowing real-life trivia on pages. There must be legitimate links between the in-game items and real life items, more than just a name. An example of the kind of trivia allowed under these guidelines would be "Havel the Rock may be based off the Czech rebel Vaclav Havel, who was imprisoned for leading a revolt against the Communist party. Havel the Rock was imprisoned in a similar way, likely for leading a revolt against the gods." An example of what wouldn't be allowed would be "Shiva of the East may be based off the Hindu deity because they share a name."

Just trying to propose some kind of middle ground here, since everyone seems pretty split on the matter. So yeah, thread has 24 hours to pick up or I'll be closing it and we'll be forced to go with the community vote.
