Just starting to use a new tag that very easily can get confused with an existing one implies a high risk of getting "corrected".  Situation nowadays is: The standard to indicate a POI reference on the internet where people can consult further information is "Webpage", no discussion about that. People, myself included, haven't thought about the definition of what a webpage vs website is.

I would - even if it is perhaps wrong from a linguistic point of view - primarily (if it is the only list on the Internet) to display such pages under "website" - here you just have to think about the data consumer.
