Items under Trivia - similar entries under many titles

I have noticed entries under Trivia for titles which are similar in nature and which don't IMHO don't meet the criterion of being Trivia-worthy and thus I have routinely asked for their deletion (they always have been deleted upon request). I just want to ensure that my thoughts as to them being not Trivia-worthy are indeed accurate and thus whether they should be deleted or preferably declined for inclusion as Trivia in the first place. They basically just outline basics of the movie.

The following is one such example, this one for The Whistle Blower (one other further issue with these entries is providing the link back to the movie itself). In this example, the only item that I consider even remotely Trivia-worthy is the last sentence.

The Whistle Blower is a 1986 British spy thriller film directed by Simon Langton and starring Michael Caine, James Fox, Nigel Havers, Felicity Dean, Sir John Gielgud, Kenneth Colley, Gordon Jackson, The Whistle Blower, and Barry Foster. It is based on the 1984 novel of the same name by John Hale.

It looks like a copy of the opening of the film's Wikipedia article, something also mentioned recently by another contributor. Maya said, "these have been removed and further actions have been taken on the contributor responsible. If you were to encounter further ones, you can submit the deletion request for them and do let us know if there is a further problem with them."
