Yes, should be removed for two reasons (1) it's a trivia section lazily tacked onto the end of an article - this isn't 'fun facts' but an encyclopedia and (2) I can’t see any references and any unreferenced material in wikipedia can be removed at any time. 

This section has been tagged for some time now – I can’t see any move to incorporate it. It's not deletion that needs justification, rather, inclusion was never justified in the first place and should be justified before their return, bit by bit.
