And why is that? Memory Alpha is a project for creating a Star Trek encyclopedia that just happens to use the MediaWiki software. As seen in the history page, if it hadn't, it would just be another Star Trek database, not editable by everyone - and it allows for a level of details that would be just silly at Wikipedia. Same with other fan-wikis. For example, I wrote this article at The Vault: http://vault.duckandcover.cx/index.php?title=Two-headed_bear and I would definitely vote for the deletion of such article if it were created at Wikipedia.
Although I am sure there are articles in Memory Alpha that would not be suitable for Wikipedia, I have not yet found one.
