Wikipedia should avoid gratuitous self-reference, but the blocking of Wikipedia by China is itself newsworthy/articleworthy, IMO. We have a [[Wikipedia]] article, after all - not all self-reference is forbidden.
I think that's a good assessment, and good criteria to use. The blocks have been covered in the major media, and the articles ties in with other articles about PRC internet censorship, particularly [[Baidu Baike]].
Well as someone living on the front lines of Wikipedia access in China, I do think moving the article to Wikipedia: namespace is the correct thing to do. It's not really appropriate for the main namespace. It wouldn't be appropriate for any of these either:
[[Blocking_of_BBC_in_mainland_China]] [[Blocking_of_Blogger_in_mainland_China]] [[Blocking_of_HRIC_in_mainland_China]]
