There's an obvious namespacing issue. How many people do you think have cats named "Fluffy," for instance? Beyond a certain point, it starts becoming difficult to find the information you want, except, perhaps by using a search function. Once you're at that point, you might as well be search Google for the info instead.

Edit: Wikipedia solves this problem currently with disambiguation pages. Those would become useless once they hit a certain size.
