Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fermat's Last Theorem in fiction
In a more nearly perfect world, I'd just as soon see most of these sections sent to the briny deep. But will they stay there? Some things really are Better Here Than There, |that problematic essay notwithstanding, and I don't really see most of the usual "delete" voters in these discussions volunteering to make sure the main article stays clean. Sequestering this sort of material in a side article strikes me as a useful form of harm reduction -- people who care about it can maintain it, readers who are genuinely interested can find it, and it's sufficiently off the beaten path that it doesn't much detract from the scholarly focus of the visible part of the encyclopedia
