I am.
That's the whole point of an encyclopedia--to provide a compilation of all
human knowledge.
Do real encyclopedias devote space to discussing singular events that
happened to be reported by some random notable media source? Not
generally.
No, but as you explain yourself below, that is a limitation not of the concept
of an encyclopedia but rather of the medium most other encyclopedias are
published in:
quite a few other things that might not be found in
traditional
encyclopedias due to the fact that Wikipedia is an entirely different
medium.
