The best solution is to teach editors not to want to include trivia
to begin with.
They do have one benefit: they let new editors get their toes wet. It
seems to me that the first contributions made by a lot of new editors
are either adding to trivia sections like that ("Oh! Oh! I know! I saw
this in a Simpsons episode once! I can't believe no one added that!")
or adding to existing lists of other things (creating the phenomenon
of a list of 37 examples when only 2 were needed).
Solution: Regular pruning.
