It looks like an article directory differs from a content farm in that it doesn't host the content, but just (paid for) links to other content. In this case, it might be worth a quick merge with content farm-- the fact that it used to be a way to get your SEO rank up, but now is punished, is a worthy fact to have in the encyclopedia, but you may be right that it doesn't need an entire article just to define the term and say it used to work but now doesn't. I'll change my !vote to selectively merge.
