I would not say that this is definitely "NOT" a Wikipedia. The
collective answer to "what is Wikipedia" has narrowed over time. I
don't see a reason it could not widen again.
For me personally, if they want to call that Wikipedia,
notwithstanding the emergence of a definitive cross-language
definition of Wikipedia, I would be inclined to let them. It has the
name currency if nothing else.
