Insignificant Minutia
It's like an article on with all the steps to the Polish 1964 production of Swan Lake. Articles already exist on the importance/applicability of Tai Chi Chuan. (anon)
It's not. While it could be argued that the content of each form are beyond the scope of an encyclopedia, the names and allegories within them, and the details of their potential application are in fact highly revealing as to the essence of Tai Chi, more so than many of the narrative articles.
