Who are we to decide? We're Wikipedians. We're collaborators on this big job. We all work together to make a good encyclopedia, and we apply judgement to do that. Every one of us is the person who decides what's a valid topic.
If we had all thought, "Well, it's _not my place_ to decide," then we wouldn't have such a great encyclopedia to begin with. But we haven't, and now we do.
If our choice, as collaborators, is to include everything under the sun, well, that's what we do. If our choice is to leave some things out, that's what we do.
It's everybody's place to design this reference, at both the sentence and word level and at the overarching encyclopedic work level.
