We have articles on every single episode of most major TV shows, and lots of minor ones. You would never see that in any encyclopaedia.
You would not see that in the Encyclopedia of Late 20th Century American Television? Really? Or do you mean in any "general" encyclopedia. Because certainly, Wikipedia reaches the level of a specialized encyclopedia in a number of areas, like television shows - but (I hope), we don't go too much beyond that.
Out of curiosity, why?
Obviously storage space becomes a limit at some point, but there seems to be little visible limit to the interest of people in documenting things.
What, exactly, does an end-state Wikipedia project look like, to those who would want us to stop adding new articles at some point? How and when would you say "stop"?
