Schema.org type for online encyclopedia entries - article or dataset?

I am looking for recommendations on what schema.org type to use for entries in an online encyclopedia.

My initial thoughts were to define entries as 'article', but I am now leaning towards 'dataset' as I don't feel these are articles in a news sense.

Looking for any feedback.

Article should be appropriate. It’s not only for news (for which there is the more specific NewsArticle type), but also for scientific papers, microblog/blog posts, guides/tutorials, forum posts, etc.

Dataset is for "structured information". The typical encyclopedia entry probably isn’t structured in that sense (e.g., I wouldn’t use it for Wikipedia, but maybe for DBpedia).

If you think both types could be appropriate for your case, you could use them together (i.e., each entry is an Article and a Dataset).
