I...disagree. I've been to Guangzhou many, many times. There are tons of local TV and radio programs in Cantonese/Yue, in addition to the Hong Kong programs they watch/listen to. Every time I was in a taxi, if the driver is from the local region, his radio is always tuned to a radio station that speaks Cantonese/Yue.
So? We are discussing if we should have a Wikipedia "written* in Cantonese or any other dialects (which all do not even have a standardised writting system, which means that not all native speakers can understand the written encyclopedia should we have one), not discussing about whether we should have a spoken encyclopedia in these dialects. I totally agree that dialects are living spoken languages in China, but it is absurdly ridiculous to attempt to write in them, as there is *no* **standardised** writing system for them!!
