"Encyclopedia" and "record of only what has been published in reliable secondary sources" are not synonymous terms.>> ---------------------------- And yet the community needs a method of determining "Is this encyclopedic?" We already loosely use an expression like "this is not encyclopedic" in AfD. Apparently there is some sort of processing going on, on the editor level, to allow them to determine that. If the determination is simply the answer to the question "Has this ever been published by anyone anywhere?" then we come back again to Notability, since this answer destroys notability entirely. However the community seems to want Notability. And so my conclusion is that this contradiction means that "This has been published" is not a full answer to "Is this encyclopedic?"
