Luxembourg is not Central European.
Have you followed that link?
Have you seen the second map in the introduction?

The one that says “There are numerous other definitions and viewpoints.”?

No the one that quota encyclopedia Britannica.
I think we are both talking now about the first chart in the section “Different views of Central Europe”. The one with the caption “Central Europe according to The World Factbook (2009),[1] Encyclopædia Britannica, and Brockhaus Enzyklopädie (1998). There are numerous other definitions and viewpoints.”

Depends, Romania is either central, southern, or east european. Culturally is most definitely not eastern. Germany is by some considered central european. Austria and Switzerland see themselves as west european. Oh the delusion.

See the map of the most widely used definition of the region of Central Europe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Europe#/media/File:Cen...
Every country changes their belonging to a region based on the perceived value bias of what is being discussed.
A user here humorously put it that Slovenians see themselves as Western European when it comes to how honest and hard they work, Southern European when it comes to weather and food, and Eastern European when it comes to drinking, partying and having fun.
But geographical location however is immutable, so let's stick to that instead of the other more biased definitions.

Proceeds to using precisely biased, political, definitions.
These distinctions are pretty arbitrary, maybe just wait for GP to clarify.

They're not going to clarify because there is no country that matches this description.
Small and Central European would be Hungary, Slovakia, Czechia, Austria, Slovenia, Switzerland.
