What an entry signifies

A matched entry means the place cleared someone else's notability bar: an editor outside this archive decided it merited an article, and other editors kept it. That is real signal — for the place. It anchors the documented-history column: the building exists, the dates are roughly checkable, the spelling of the name was worth arguing about.

It anchors nothing in the ghost column. The encyclopedia files hauntings under folklore when it files them at all — a matching article can document a legend while disputing it, and plenty of matched entries never mention the ghost at all. Presence is not proof; absence is not insignificance either — most of the archive's 3,516 files never drew an editor, which says more about who writes encyclopedias than about where stories live.

Read the field as a shelf mark, then: the same place, filed in someone else's stacks. How this archive grades the claims inside its own files is laid out in the methodology.
