I'm not sure what you're saying. Under what

linking to WR or a similar site be beneficial to Wikipedia? Please
give some specific examples, keeping in mind that Wikipedia is an
encyclopedia, and the purpose of Talk: pages is to discuss article
content, and that article content must comply with [[WP:V]] and
[[WP:RS]].
Talk pages must discuss article content, and article content must comply with
[[WP:V]] and [[WP:RS]], but it does not follow that talk pages must comply with
[[WP:V]] and [[WP:RS]]. That's not a syllogism. The article content produced
by talk page discussion must comply with those policies; but the talk page
itself doesn't.
By your reasoning, if we decide that something is a reliable source and say
so on the talk page, we need a reliable source for the claim that it's a
reliable source.
