His definition is not that wrong.
Knowledge is just a structured and ranked information.

"Unneeded" is something that no one needs. Articles, that no one views
and/or edits, could be considered anneeded.
There are numerous proposals on article ranking system, and eventually the
system of some kind will be implemented.

I don't see a permanent problem there.
