Wikipedia is not meant to be an archive of all information. It's meant to be an encyclopedia of things that are notable [1], which is probably where the confusion comes from.

As you can imagine, the topic of what notability is, has been discussed at length since Wikipedia's inception [2].

I know all that all to well, I’ve been a Wikimedia contributor since 2004 and dag deep the rabbit hole.

I don’t have to agree with all consensus done in the wikisphere, though. I grant that it’s a tricky point. :)
