This is an argument I find less than compelling. Are
schools not encyclopedic?
Is having articles on every two-bit band that meets [[WP:MUSIC]]
appropriate to
an encyclopedia? We all have our different intuitions about what an
encyclopedia
should have in it. One thing is clear: Wikipedia is not a traditional
encyclopedia.
What you're talking about there is range of coverage - spoiler
warnings is a question of style of coverage. So whether a topic is
covered at all doesn't address that.
