* I frequently use Wikipedia as a source of information on a TV series, ... *
So do I, and it's quite handy. But if Wikipedia is to be the host for what is, essentially, mass-media trivia, then why would it not also be the host for arguably less mundane content, such as a page on Randal Schwartz. Or me, for that matter?
It just depends on how Wikipedia's owners decide to handle it. But they're currently defining themselves as an encyclopedia.
