I know the people editing Japanese
history articles get really fed up because articles about historical figures
end up with huge lists of appearances of the historical figure in
manga/anime attached,

I don't personally see the problem with this -- there's no limit on
the length of an article, so it's not like if people add the
"appearances in popular culture" section that it prevents other
information from being put in there. It's not the same thing as
inaccurate information.

In fact, can you provide any good reason why a "appearances in popular
culture" section does not belong in an article about a historical
figure?
