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.
