Footnote citations aren't an option as we use them for real world citations. We also want people to seek out pages on the wiki, having the citations assists this.
I understand that notability is subjective and that it's not feasible in many cases to list every example. But as I've said above the use of et.al is as bad for new readers as it assumes the reader has prior knowledge.
I think it's better to cut to it and cite notable examples of the concept. If the stories illustrate the topic clearly then that's enough.
