Linking to Wikipedia Review is obviously relevant in an article on Daniel Brandt (does it still exist) or Wikipedia criticism. Much more use can't exist for the article space, but if we're going to discuss Wikipedia review for example to counter attacks on people, we should be able to link to it.
Anyway, wikipediareview is a very specific case and if we were to ban it, I don't think we need new policy that could be abused and lead to the bans of other sites. What constitutes an attack site is subjective depending on who you ask.

Whatever microscopic benefit can be (argued by some) to be gained by linking to a hate site like Wikipedia Review is immediately outweighed by the harm that place and similar pages create. They openly hunt for peoples' identaties. They have active Jayjg and slimvirgin hunting threads, and for others.
Do you support that? How about harassment of others like mongo, and katefan, and phaedriel, and so on...?
I have asked multiple people, can you think of a single GOOD reason to link to that site in particular, and got not one good answer, only strawmen arguments about censorship and mccarthyism.
If you support inclusion of links to WR, shall we link to hivemind as well, and the encyclopedia dramatica wiki?
