But right now the WMF doesn't have an encyclopedic dictionary, so if we put those articles in the Wikipedia, and labelled them, and gave them their own policies, then the people that want to write them will be happy, and the people that want to read them won't learn much if any encyclopedic information, but at least they'll know what they're getting, whereas right now the Wikipedia is implying that they're getting encyclopedic stuff, which they really aren't.
Your opinion of what constitutes "encyclopedic stuff" differs from that of the English Wikipedia community at large.
