There are a number of good arguments. Where does the scope of Wikipedia end? Should there be an article about "saurik"? How do you actively police articles for e.g. defamation (note, we already struggle to handle this problem and it is getting worse)? How do you stop spam? I like to come at this argument from the opposite direction: what need is there for Wikipedia to give an article to every single trivial thing. Is what the president had for breakfast in 2011 sufficiently interesting to the reader? Wikipedia is not a dump of knowledge, it is supposed to be a curated summary of the sum of human knowledge. And as with an article where you make editorial decisions about the level of detail to go into, so the entire Wiki is scoped to a reasonable level of detail.
