IMHO, I don't see why we can't have an article called Elrond or Bilbo Baggins, and have in the first line, "Bilbo Baggins was a character in [[Middle Earth]]..." and I think it's fine to have a fictional character as an encyclopedia entry. After all, Wikipedia is not paper... I think it will turn out much differently than traditional encyclopedias and we'll have to accept some non-traditional ideas to do it.
I agree totally with this.
There's still a problem of namespace collisions, though. A good example is [[USS Enterprise]], which is the name of many real and fictional vessels.
