I doubt that [[Wipipedia]] will be kept. It's far less notable than GNAA
and its has absolutely no reliable third party sources.
We know how GNAA ended up...

I'm not saying that Wipipedia is not useful for its readers, but so
are millions of other sites. Being a wiki and having a dozen or so
Wikipedians who edit that wiki as well doesn't mean we must have
an article.

I don't believe in exceptions of the policies just to please a group of
editors. No matter how determined is a group of Wikipedians to keep
an article, eventually, the policy will prevail.
