 * IRL trivia points must be sourced to show legitimate factual backup to the theory.
 * The trivia must be relevant in some way to teaching about the article it is posted on.
 * The article and the IRL "thing" must share more than a common name, perhaps a similar trait or an explainable(sic) connection that makes it nearly certain these two things are related.

Now, this is just a preliminary suggestion, and it should definitely be expanded on. But I think we can all agree this is at least something to work with and build upon?

So Basically the thought of removing any IRL mention that is very informative in entirety simply because it is more difficult to police is not a justifiable reason to censor. But correctly monitoring IRL info can be possibly a cumbersome process as simply looking at the one example I supplied.
 * Sourcing is good. Simple link to a reference would help. And we should define how we want the info to be formatted when referenced/sourced.
 * Teaching is good description of what we try to do with information.
 * The name thing is point on but Trivia in reference to the IRL name itself such as Xanthous meaning 'Yellow' is I find interesting to know though the only IRL connection is the name itself. (though the color itself might be the added connection we are looking at here, maybe?)
 * though if looking at the rest of the Trivia it mentions a weak relation to Hastur which really has little recognizable connection to Xanthous King, Jeremiah other then 'yellow' and 'King' being mentioned minutely in Hastur's info. Hastur actually having a closer connection to Dark Sun Gwyndolin in appearance and description (In popular culture reference ) then to Jeremiah.
