The comment associated with " ...in
Popular Culture" (i.e. Family Guy)
has my full support.
A certain commentary at

Seriously, why can't we? We're getting swamped with fan-writing on all
sorts of topics, much of it related to popular culture. I believe we
need to reign this in before even more intellectual editors decide leave
this kindergarten. Why is fan enthusiam encouraged over professional
enthusiasm? It may give Wikipedia greater popularity in the short run,
but it's ruining it in the long run. Or is it just me?

I don't really mind people writing about what they are interested in - their
favourite band/soap opera/movie/whatever - but "x in popular culture"
sections/articles really do need to go.
