NPOV as nothing to do with consensus. And philosophy has is place in an encyclopedia.

OK, ok you guys don't seem to get the point of my post. What I meant was that ANY philosophical text, is inappropriate for an ENCYCLOPEDIA, because it's obviously cannot become consensus, and will always remain merely a POV.
It's like saying that by creating a wiki trying to "define" *what* is "art" , you will eventually (and ultimately) get to the point of consensus. that everyone will agree: "Yes, exactly, that is art". Great, all our problems solved, the wiki said Art is defined by X, Thought is Y and Knowledge is Z.
Some things just shouldn't be written into a wiki.
