Britannica is only one opinion. An encyclopedia of childrens toys would probably come to a different conclusion.
Yes, but we're a general encyclopedia, not a subject encyclopedia, and not a compendium of subject encyclopedias. This is a very important point - especially for popular culture articles.
I don't agree with that at all---I think we should be precisely a compendium of subject encyclopedias, albeit woven together in a way that the general reader can navigate from general to specific articles and back again in a reasonable manner.
