What if it's possible to explain the first 4/5 of
the plot without a spoiler?
Then it's incomplete and unencyclopedic.
Here's a question: do we have a source for the fact that a given fact
is the spoiler? Or is it just an editor deciding?
And if we do have a source, then the spoiler is itself something that
should be in the article.

That doesn't follow. I can imagine someone
wanting to look up Valen, for
instance and wanting to know more non-spoiler material about him without
wanting to know the spoiler.
Possibly. But I think with an encyclopedia it's fair to assume you're
getting all we've got.
